Rest assured that if you transfer to a large university, you won’t be the only person without friends or a clique.

A good start is to put yourself into a situation where you can meet other people (assuming of course that you are neatly dressed and presentable). So, to get into position to meet folks in a group or neutral setting, try some of these ideas:

Have you considered volunteering? Look for opportunities to get involved in various community service activities…especially in an activity you have personal interests in or motivation to get involved. This puts you in a mix of folks with similar interests…and that serves as common ground to start conversations…the first step to making new friends.

Consider taking a first aid and a CPR course…both very handy skills to have…and another opportunity to meet people. The practical test to complete the class results in a certificate…a bench mark for personal achievement…which could also help build your confidence.

Volunteer at a nursing home or retirement center….this gives you a chance to develop friends with some very “experienced” youth and they may have other contacts in the area and college, too. You can engage them in conversations and pick their brains about the local area…and then use the benefit of their knowledge and insights to life in general. Some of them may even have personal contacts in colleges to help “grease the skids” for you to meet others.

Once in the setting (you picked these based on your interests), you are now surrounded by folks with a similar interest. This is the basis for starting a conversation. Everything is neutral, non-threatening….so a good opening line that’s proven internationally to be the most successful (believe it or not) is a simple “Hi!”

People, generally, like to talk about themselves, so ask questions “how did you learn about this activity?”, what got you interested in this field / activity? how long have you been involved in this? where did you go to school to learn about this?

Based on the response you get, friendships can develop. It may take time, so don’t rush. It seems, in my life anyway, some of the most long lasting relationships came about when I wasn’t looking specifically for anything. So with little pressure, things developed slowly and ended up lasting a long time…some of these go back 30-35 years…and I haven’t seen them for as much time…but we keep in touch through the years and half way around the globe.

Good luck…remember, a warm friendly smile, and a simple “Hi” is all that is need to start things rolling.

Join lots of things like clubs, or sports. Smile lots and be friendly, introduce yourself. Remember peoples names and compliment them like if you see them later after meeting them be like “oh mary i forgot to tell you how much i like your necklace!” and they will most likely be responsive. Plus allow people to talk about themselves you want to be there friend and people like to feel special so if you act like everything they say is interesting they will probably like you more. Try to relate too! maybe then you’ll find people with common interests. Latly remeber your manners, those will laways make you look good! best of luck on transfering!

Your best choices are (in order!):

1) Join a fraternity/sorority

2) Join a sports team

3) Join a club

4) Be friendly in your classes!
