<p>I’m going to be double majoring in history and information technology. Both of those kind of seem like solitary subjects to study. I’d really like to make some friends that have the same interests as me and I’m just wondering how hard thats going to be doing these majors. I also know that I can make friends with other majors, but I’m kind of shy and it’d be nice to make friends while doing a history project or IT project together or something, or studying for a test together.</p>
<p>Those subjects are as “solitary” as you make them. I don’t know if you’ll be doing projects, but you could meet up with people to proof papers, look for stuff in the library, talk over ideas, etc. I’d recommend coming to class a couple of mins early so that you could just chat with the people around you.</p>
<p>I actually believe that this can be the case, I think depending on how much your major speaks about what your personality is, and also how much time it necessitates spending time with people outside of class. For instance, I had friends in college who were cinema production majors and they made friends with a lot of other people in their majors, more so than other people I knew. I think this is because they had to work together a lot to get crews for their film assignments, and they had to spend a lot of time together in the lab developing film. Also, they were all really into movies, of course, so they had something really obvious to do together. </p>
<p>My former major, occupational therapy, actually really didn’t seem to have much solidarity at all. Even though we had a lot of group work in certain classes, we tended to take so many gen eds were were mostly split up all of the time, and other than that most of the girls seemed to make friends through sports and dorms instead of classes. I think the only exceptions were the really involved OT students who were on the club e-board.</p>
<p>Most of my friends are Kinesiology, Biology, Engineering, and Business majors and they can be the craziest partiers despite having hard majors.</p>
<p>usually it’s easier to make friends in your major, whatever that is</p>
<p>I didn’t meet any of my current friends in classes. I met them outside of class. I disagree with the above post. I’ll speak for myself here, I like variety.</p>
<p>Of course it’s the easier to make friends within your own major because obviously you’re going to be with them for the next 4 years and you will share the same or similar classes with them. As for making friends in certain majors, not necessarily. I guess it would be easier to make friends with people who have the same majors in your school. For instance, the majority of my school is biology majors so I know a lot of them. Otherwise, it doesn’t really matter who or how you make friends based on their major.</p>
<p>You’ll make friends with whoever you spend the most time with. If you spend most of your time hanging out in your dorm, you’ll meet people in your dorm. If you spend time in study groups with people from your major, you’ll meet people from your major. If you spend most of your time partying, you’ll have mostly party friends. If you spend most of your free time involved in clubs, you’ll make lots of club friends.</p>
<p>probably humanities or fine arts because of smaller classes. education because of the group work. engineering has a lot of labs so you make friends and people do homework together.</p>
<p>something like math would be a lot harder.</p>
<p>There’s no garauntee that you will be with them for the next 4 years. People transfer all the time. I agree 100% with Racin.</p>
<p>It is easier to make friends in smaller majors (more classes with the same people) and majors that require more group work.</p>
