I just started college last year, with the same problem! I actually met my best friend, when she asked me a question about textbooks. Try sitting next to people at lunch, and try to have a conversation, or wait until someone asks you a question when sitting next to them in class or something. Join clubs! I know they’re really awkward at first, but they get so much easier and are tons of fun. You will most likely make friends with your roommate and their friends.

Hi there! I am a recent college grad but I went into college not knowing a soul (and dorming 2 hours away from home) so I know how you must be feeling. If you are dorming, I strongly encourage you to get out of your dorm room and walk on your floor. Stop by into peoples’ rooms and introduce yourself! Everyone goes into college being scared and wanting to make friends just like you. If you aren’t dorming, get involved on campus. Find clubs or intramural sports that you love and you will for sure make good friends that way. For me, it wasn’t easy to make lasting friendships in the beginning. But it got easier and when I graduated, I left with a group of 6 best friends and a whole lot of other friends on top of that! You will be just fine : )

Just say “Hi” give a compliment and stick to a general subject like music or food that you know everyone will enjoy. People in college are pretty open and chill the worst they can do is walk away bc they’re too busy to respond. Whatever their loss. Keep it moving.
