Do you still have a meal plan and eat in a dining hall? Meeting over eating is a great time to meet others. Look for others who are alone. Don’t prejudge them based on looks, gender, dress, etc. Ask if you can join them. Try simple small talk. Do this a lot. You never know when a spark might light up a friendship. Think a how much you wish someone would approach you. Be brave. If you want things to change, you’ll have to be brave.
