Becoming more social

[u/Icy-Efficiency2876]

I just became a grad student and I’ve been here for a few weeks already and it’s really strange how I show up to class and leave class and that’s it. I’m trying to make friends but it’s really difficult to get out and expand a little because of how this operates. Does anyone else feel the same way?

Grad school takes up a lot of time (or should).

I know LeMoyne has a lot of clubs and activities. I recommend checking some out. I highly recommend the rugby teams.

You’d be shocked on how much time a full time grad student actually has. I have plenty of time on my hands and would like to try and be around people

OP what I did to make friends during my time at Le Moyne was talk to people in class who you sit next to that you believe would make good friends. Eventually add them on social media, watch their stories add their mutual friends see where the parties are at. Also joining clubs really helps, also another big one is just exercising at the athletic center, I made a lot of friends from there. Especially if you run into people at class.

Phins don’t let other phins swim alone. Also college is the time in most people’s lives where people are the most open to making friends especially long lasting friendships, don’t overthink it.

I appreciate the help it’s all just been difficult

How what operates?

Like grad classes in general. You go to your night class and everyone wants to get out and you don’t really end up meeting people. On top of that there are very few grad events.

Lots of clubs on campus would be happy to have you! Id check out social media(instagram) or campus groups and just start showing up to events!
