<p>So I’m living in one of the Segundo high rises and It’s been about 2 months and I haven’t really made much progress with most of my floor. My roommate and I are really close, and I have a few good friends on the floor who I hang out with often, but I thought that the whole floor would get really close and do everything together. I haven’t been antisocial or anything, but So far it’s just been like a few groups have formed on the floor and just hang with their groups. I almost feel like it’s hard to get to know everyone of the floor since the highrises have two halls on one floor. Too many people for the floor to really get close.
Was it like this for evveryone else too? For the most part, does it take a long time for everyone in the floor to come together and get close?</p>
<p>Depends really, it’s such a conditional question you ask that whatever I say will not be the same as your situation. Still here is what I personally and what I have seen in other groups happen:
Personally I got close to a certain group (Pierce J) and only the adjacent people close by were friends in the end
In the floor below, almost the majority of the floor became very close friends and still hang out. </p>
<p>if you want your whole floor to all hang out, everyone needs to be open to the idea, for all you know though, not everyone is looking for that and it may never happen.</p>
<p>I was also in Pierce J a few years ago and the entire floor was never close, I had friends on each floor. And honestly, I dont think an entire building of 60 people, let alone a whole floor will be a close knit group.</p>
<p>At most, I know that everyone was friendly toward each other and open, but we all have separate interests and the occasional dormcest did not help everyone get along better.</p>
<p>I live in one of the high-rises too :)</p>
<p>I have to say, it’s never going to be an entire floor that’s close.
Most of my side of my floor plus a few others from the other side are extremely tight, and we do a lot of things together. We’re even planning on living close by each other next year when we have to move off-campus.
On the other hand, most of the opposite side of the floor are rarely seen. It seems like they hang out in their rooms or outside with other people rather than each other.
It’s just the luck of the draw. Your best bet is to keep knocking on doors and inviting people to go eat at the DC, or maybe Old Teahouse, or go for a Rite-Aid run, because that’s really how everything starts.
Good luck! And remember, there’s a lot of time to keep getting to know people. And there are so many people, if you don’t get close to your floor, there are plenty of opportunities elsewhere to make good friends.</p>
<p>you don’t have to be friends with your floor. if it doesn’t work out go somewhere else to find more friends</p>
<p>It’s hard to do it with your floor in Segundo… just make sure you are AT LEAST friendly neighbors! You can’t really force yourselves into being friends. But you don’t need to! Go join some clubs or something =)</p>
<p>I live in Pierce H in the Tercero area. Our entire building is very close 
Maybe because of the smaller community and the fact that we all hang out at the lounge/study lounge almost everyday.</p>
