I’m in college. I transferred from a university I really liked to one that I don’t like due the urging of my parents. I’ve been here for a month, and I still don’t have any friends. Don’t get me wrong, I’m usually a loner, but I made friends at my other university within the first weeks. It’s hard being a reserved, out-of-state student in this place. Everyone seems to hang out with their HS friends. I’m in a dorm, I’ve tried talking to people, but I don’t have much in common with anyone. I’m a bit of a nerd and don’t care for frat parties or MTV. I joined the band here, hoping that would help, but it hasn’t. They all hang out with their HS people, too. I’d join other clubs, but everything conflicts with band. My roommate is from out of state, but she’s really extroverted, kinda immature, and her interests are so different from mine. She is always out and about, and it makes me feel worse. I’m tired of feeling so alone here.

Anyone else feel like this and any suggestions?
