<p>going this fall
kindda nervous about everything!!!</p>
<p>from a guys perspective it’s very hard, actually. especially with the cute/hot asian chicks. you make guy friends very well. the ugly white/hispanic chicks will be nice if ur nice to them. all the cute/hot asian chicks are hard to make friends with. i only kissed 2 of them this year and hooked up with 1</p>
<p>Yea, you won’t be alone, there’s like 20k students here.</p>
<p>uh ivers0n, i hope your generalizations are sarcastic…</p>
<p>He’s the same joker who posts all those lame threads about hookups.</p>

<p>Just ignore him.</p>
<p>TwinsFishy, it depends, of course. Ex: If you’re a shy person you’re going to have to push yourself to talk to more people. Other than that, you’ve got an entire incoming class of freshmen plus other upperclassmen to make friends with. I’m sure you’ll find your own group.</p>
<p>If you’re living in the dorms, it’ll be somewhat easy to make friends. In the beginning everyone is nervous, and everyone is trying to make friends, so it won’t be that bad. Say hi and be nice, and try to keep your door open in the dorms since that’ll make yourself more approachable.
In my opinion it’s easier in the beginning because that’s when people aren’t already “cliqued” into groups. Don’t be afraid to say hi to strangers in class, etc. In college you’ll end up meeting a lot of people you’ll never see again! Haha.</p>
<p>It’s actually pretty easy to make friends in the dorms. I wasn’t really a friendly guy in high school but I made a good amount of friends here. On the first day just say hi to a lot of people. If you have common interests you guys will bond easier (video games, sports, music, etc). You RAs will organize hall activities so try to go to some of those.</p>
<p>There are a couple of guys in my suite who never talk to anyone… they just stay in their room and keep the door shut. I don’t know if they really want to get to know other people, though. So if you want to make friends you probably will. Just say hi and introduce yourself to everyone on the first day (everyone else will).</p>
<p>Take advantage of your fall quarter…this the the quarter in the first weeks freshamns are very friendly and open meeting new people. By the time of your winter or spring, ppl will eventually stick to people with their cliques, I’m assumming.</p>
<p>I’m in the same situation as TwinsFishy. Anyway I need to push myself to talk to people. But I’m working on it. :)</p>
<p>yeah from my personal experience, my first two weeks of fall quarter i met soooo many people because i was friendly and outgoing. then, i began to clique with just one group of friends. i told myself i wouldn’t before i got to uci, but i did. so best advice to you. do not clique. hangout with everyone you meet. trust me, it’ll be worth it, you’ll end up knowing sooo many people.</p>
