Another good way to meet people is to just introduce yourself to the people you sit next to in your classes. I also met a few friends that way. Even if you don’t do anything with them outside of class, it’ll at least give you someone to talk to before the class starts.

Sporting events are also a good way to meet people. I’m not really much of a sports fan, but I still go to be supportive of my team. I’ve met several intersting people just by standing next to them and starting a converstation with them about the game. I don’t ever see them outside of sporting events, but it’s still nice to see familiar faces in the student section every once in a while.

Mingling at campus events in general is a really good way to meet people because all sorts of different people will be there.

I have the same problem about being shy and it was hard for me to overcome it. I can still be shy at times, but I’m a lot better than I used to be. I started by forcing myself to talk to people I didn’t know – like classmates. Even though it sounds pretty cliche, a good way to overcome shyness is to try to find people who have the same interests as you so you can have a foundation for converstations.

But after you introduce yourself it will seem like its going good.

I am in my 2nd year at a Community College. And the more people you make the more friends you will have. Trust me.

I hope this works.

You seem to be a minority. Find a group of kids from your minority group. Or if you like theater or politics you could go to one of those meetings.

You can also just go up and down your dorm floor and introduce yourself to new people.
