Re: College how to make friends? -

Hey Luke. I think we're pretty much in the same boat right now. I'm starting college in a couple of weeks
I think the best thing is for you to try and be generally friendly. Take part in class discussions, try and initiate conversations with people and attend the freshers week parties (if they have them where your studying). Also, do they do an enrichment programme where you're going? I know that mine does and we have the opportunity to learn first aid, take part in sports, do a language etc. This might be something for you to consider.
An easy way to break the ice is to simply sit down next to someone who looks equally as lost as you, before introducing yourself. I'm sure they'll be relieved to have someone to talk to and will generally be a lot more open.
Ooo, and study groups. After the first few weeks, ask someone if they fancied studying during their free with a few friends. Great way to meet new people.
Hope it goes well!
