<p>From my personal experience there (I’m a current freshman), I will say that groups form extremely quickly during the first few weeks of school (although these groups tend not to last long). I spent pretty much all of fall semester with the marching band, so while I have plenty of friends there, I don’t have a ton of friends outside of band. It’s definitely possible to make more friends past the first few months of freshman year, but it will take some effort on your part. </p>
<p>There are TONS of out of state and international students here though. Most of my friends are international/out of state. No one’s going to exclude you because you’re from Georgia.</p>
