The college experience doesn’t end after freshman/ sophomore year! If you actively get involved in a wide variety of clubs and activities you will meet tons of people and have a great time. I have plenty of friends that I’ve met in the last 6 months that I’m much closer with than people I met my freshman year several years ago, and this will continue for the rest of my life I’m sure. College is a time for revolving friendships and constantly new beginnings - enjoy it!

A large public school means that there will always be TONS of people that are forming new friendships every day, and you will be completely indistinguishable from somebody who spent the last two years there. I don’t know about you, but when I meet somebody on-campus or off-campus I don’t ever once consider “dang, if he/she doesn’t have any other friends nearby then I certainly don’t want to talk and become friends with them, I better be careful!.” No way, you launch straight into talking and finding out who they are and where they come from, for everybody has an interesting story - including you! Don’t stress about being a transfer, just enjoy your classes and the people that you meet =).
