Are you ready for the full college/university experience?
We’ve compiled a short list of ways to meet new people when you start college/university:

  • Turn off your computer/phone. Connect in real life.
  • Join a club or two. Find people with similar interests to yours.
  • Check out events in your town.
  • Go to parties.
  • Start a study group with class-mates.
  • Join an intramural or club sports team.
  • Find the popular hang-outs on campus and around town.
  • Talk to people. Ask Questions. Remember Names.
  • Get a job or volunteer.
  • Find a note-sharing buddy.
  • Be-friend class-mates on social media.
  • Go to events. Step out of your comfort zone and see who you’ll meet in the process.
  • Do homework in public: coffee shops, libraries etc.
  • Take an elective such a communications course. Take a lab-class.
  • Take the initiative to hang out with the people you seem to click with.
  • Take advantage of any previous acquaintances.
  • Be approachable. Smile.
  • Move early. Start meeting people before school even begins.
  • Meet your dorm-mates and floor-mates quickly. Leave your door open.
  • Work for the campus newspaper or yearbook.
  • Run for student body.
  • Don’t “go home” on weekends; stay on campus.
  • Ditch the long-distance relationship.
  • Find a friend who is more social than you.
  • Go to as many Frosh Week events as you can.
  • Tag along with groups of people.
  • Listen more than you talk. Ask questions.
  • Sit with people you don’t know in the dining hall/cafeteria. Strike up a conversation.
  • Use course work as an ice-breaker (“Gee, this class is easy/hard/boring”).
  • Meet people from outside of your old high school group.
  • Don’t come on too strong.
  • Be yourself.

Use some (or all?) of these tips to get your school year, and college experience, started off right.  Make this year the best year ever!
