College: is it tougher making Friends then people make out
 

Everybody says once you go to college that you will have a great social life and you will make friends and everything is rossy.

But what i have heard from other people is that it is miserable and people aren't interested in making friends cause they have them at home so whats the point in making friends in college.

so what are your expereince's at college and did you or have you found it hard trying to amke friends?

made a few.

You should make a few friends on your first day, at least thats how it was for me

ive always viewed college as basically school with no uniform
everyone makes it out to be this mad place to always party and get laid

i've always found its like School most of the students just want to go home rather then party or get to know other students. i was always trying to get people from class to go out for a drink and it was like pulling teeth. i never made one life long friend from college cause i feel a good 90% of the class don't want to make friends.

I find its not the case at all Chewy but you might have been a far more open person then me.

Not when I started, I was shy as fook, now I'm the opposite xD

i was asking a few out for a drink but they rather have gone home and sit in their bedroom or just simply haven't gone to college to befriend anyone. the female students were far more open i got them to come out once or twice but the guys were boring as ****.

My friends teased me about this is secondary school, they kept repeating "Your not going to make friends", not to big headed but I was considered to have loads of friends in secondary school. They shook me up. I arrived in college thinking I wouldnt make friends, so scared.... and it was the best decision ever. Within the first day, I made around 5-6 friends, and now, almost a year in, I have a huge group of friends, there must be around 35 of us.

Its not like you are a new person and you will enter when people have already made groups, your all in the same boat and everyone is so nice to you. This is how it is where I am. Now, I like to think I have better friends in college, than I did in secondary school, I trust them more. I speak to everyone in my year (there must be over 300). It was easily done too, I remember I sat next to my now best friend, and just said Hello to him, we were both nervous, and now we are such good mates.

But thats probably because Im pretty loud and chatty, even on my first day.

Dont worry at all...

You have to make an effort yourself.

no, everyone is in the same position

It's not difficult. The hardest thing is going in every day!

I've only really got two close friends that I'd keep in touch with but on a whole, everyone gets on.

College is much better and easier than school.
I went to college with no confidence at all and thought that I wouldn't make friends easy. However from the first day I could feel the maturity and genuine niceness from most people there and it was really easy to make friends. You do have to make the effort though.

"You do have to make the effort though. "


yes and how many do not?

I've made a few in my college class, there's 4 i can call friends. I get on with everyone in my class apart from one girl who gets my on nerves. College is much easier than school, People aren't as immature, and they are nicer and are interested in what you have to say. I was treated badly by a certain few in my last years at school. I feel more confident in my class.
