Making friends in college

You will definitely make lots of friends in college- remember, you will have far more in common with the students there than those in HS because you all chose that particular school. My oldest joined the Instagram & discord for his incoming class, and that was a good way to connect virtually before arriving on campus. Also, consider attending your college’s accepted students day next spring- meeting even a few kids in advance will ease the transition into school. My son ended up eating dinner his very first night at college with a group of kids he met at admitted students day. Hang out in the dorm lounge, ask people to go to meals and join lots of clubs. You’ll do great- because unlike HS, all of these kids have chosen to be there, and a vast majority of the petty clique stuff simply doesn’t exist in college.
