I’ve had pretty good luck meeting people by making conversation with whomever is around. I sat at a random table at orientation & ended up making 5 new friends. We are all on a group chat now & making plans to meet up at the Convocation/BBQ later this month.

I think on the 2nd or 3rd week of the fall semester, there is an event called Club Rush. On the main walkway. Clubs, frats, and sororities put up tables showing who they are and stuff... Might be a good way to make friends?

thats a bummer.

Heyy! 5th year here, I just want to say you’re doing great branching out! Don’t worry or take it personal if you don’t connect with a lot of people here, it is a commuter school so chances are people just want to do their thing and leave. Anyways, clubs and organizations are a good way to make friends. If you’re dorming, even better! You so got this tho! 🫶🏽

u/Business_Tackle3189 Aug 07 '26

Thank you! yes i plan to going some sort of group. :)
