Yeah, I feel kind of like that too.
I don't know about you guys, but I think it's because I don't live on campus.
See, I have a friend who stays on campus and she seems to be fine having a lot of fun.
But since I don't live on campus.
It just makes it a bit more complicated to meet with people and hang out.
You know what I mean.

I wish I could live on campus and experience the REAL college life.

i'm living in a student campus off campus and also have a friend thats living in the dorms on campus. they see to meet a lot more people because it there's so many opportunities to interact. from the student center, the dining hall, and even just lounging around their rooms. living off campus is rough, but there's a lot more for me to do since i live downtown. people always come downtown to hang out or go to the beach.

tried signing up for clubs, but club sign ups didn't start until 3rd week of school. even now, they don't have set dates for when clubs meet. my school just seems so unorganized. i'll just keep telling myself atleast i'm in hawaii.. HA-WA-II

[foreverxfu]

definitely. especially since i'm an international student. my freshman year, most of my friends were other freshmen in my dorm. but then afterwards, i got to know people in my classes, and friends through sports, clubs and all.

[Melodeen]

Yeap, college is pretty lonely for me but i sorta getting use to it now.

[miridia]

yea i feel like a loser sometimes on the weekends because im not a big party goer or anything and i only have 1 or 2 good friends i hang out with.

Me too. I'm ALWAYS in my dorm when it's the weekends. -o-;; I'm the ultimate nerd.
I'm going to change that now. I'm going to a student union club activity meeting. ;D I hope I meet someone.
If I can do it (seriously, I am the ulti-nerd out there), then you guys can do it. ;DDD


Oh yes, just curious if any of you guys are super buddies with your dormmates. I have two other roommates and I don't relate to them at all. -o-;; So it's not like a long-term (even short-term) friendship can be developed there. Oii...

I basically have no life in college.
I go to school, go home, then work. That's my day.
There are a few students that I talk to DURING class, but we never hang out or eat lunch together. So I can't really call them "friends."
In conclusion, yes, I do feel very very very lonely in school.
And what worse is that I commute from home.
This is NOT how I pictured my college life to be. It makes me sad...so so sad.

[tsuda]

same situation here. 1st year at college, only made like 1 new friend lol. commuting from home -.- hour on bart every other day for now. but meh, never had many friends anyways.

[dogs7268]

it's really up to us if we want to make a "friendship" go further. like in my case, i saw hi to these 2 japanese guys in my computer class, but since they're having trouble with the class, i offered to help them out whenever they need it.

[awdark]

i kinda feel that way too

i know a lot of people but i haven't really found a group of people i feel close with and could chill with everyday

it seems as if everyday im chilling and eating with a different group of people

At least you know a lot of people. Im on my 5th year of college and the most I got was about 2 people on AIM I occasionally talk to.

I have no idea how your school works and if it's too late but you should try joining some clubs. That way you can meet people who share your intrests. Do you not live on campus? If your school provides living on campus maybe you should try that out?I think so too. Your first year is definitley hard for getting to know people I think. But I agree with joining clubs and whatnot. Just don't give up on meeting people.

on my first year of college, i felt the same way. as time goes on, i don't. i just go up to people and talk. that's how i made most of my friends.

Maybe you can start activities for your dorm like movie nights or game nights and things like that to get people together and meet each other.

sometimes i feel this way, when i come back to my dorm no one is outside and i dont want to just knock on people's door and start a conversation. its so much harder to hang out with friends. making friends is easy but to be able to hang out together, is hard to do.

some of my friends have issues with their roomies. like their personalities just don't fit. personally, i'm having a blast with my roomie! we help each other with school, have late night girl talks, check out parties, and pig out at 2am! hahaha.

go to clubs! attend as many events as u can! ur bound to meet a few cool peeps.

[bbe_bbe_ro]

i'm in fourth year and i'm still feeling a bit lonely
first year... my friends were in my classes...then second year, we split off.
I made "friends" the last couple of years (we do homework together/check assignments/... i guess we're more like study buddies than friends) since I don't really have anything in common with them, we don't hang out outside school very much.
this year...I kinda just went on my own.... usually i say hi to everyone i know. but this year, i'm just getting so lazy that if they're not even looking at my direction i don't bother. (lol before i was happy to recognize anyone i just shout a greeting if they're within 5ft.)

I'm in the same situation as you except I'm at the end of my second year. In first year I made a really close-knit group of friends, around 6 of us, but this year, most of my group of friend chose the same specialisation which is different to mine and so I'm kinda by myself. Sigh...it sucks not having close friends anymore but I have a couple of other good friends who I meet up with once or twice a week. But yea..you're not alone...

[hugsnkisses]

I was really lonely my first year so I joined a co-ed fraternity here. Best decision i've made in college.

[Take Five]

yeah, i feel somewhat lonely. i'm going to a school half a state away from where i used to live, i live off campus, and it's a commuter school to boot. plus i have crappy social skills. i would like to make friends at clubs but people at anime club scare me and i hardly ever go to accounting club(not that i'd like to talk about accounting in my spare time anyway).

[sentuhmentalfo0l]

i did my first year
i'm from norcal and i go to school in socal
so there weren't many of my friends at school
its hard but the more you open up
the more friends you can have

[lalaleidy]

Toinks.! In my experience though, my college is more like a new challenge and big step!
Well, at first I was really sad going to college and leaving high school but college isn't that bad.
I'm actually loving it now because I can feel that I'm actually growing.

[~♥~nunu]

I'm a freshman and I feel so much lonelyer in college than high school.
I see none of my friends anymore and I haven't made any new ones yet.

It's so hard to make friends cuz you have only like one class together only a few times a week..
and people are so wrapped up in their own business..


Anyone feel the same way??
How do you make friends in college??
Through clubs, etc//??

it's sad because i use facebook all the time to talk to friends and such... i'm on campus for classes and i head back to my apt. as soon as i can..... i just don't feel the need to be around friends...? but then again it seems that everyone is busy with things to do and so do i... *SIGH*

[Inari]

It always sucks to move to a new environment, but just remember there are people like you too, you just have to find them!

I, myself is fortunate to have friends around, but its always tough meeting new people. Hope you do soon!

[FLY HIGHHH]

i totally do o.o its hard to make friends.. for me.

[SUperLong]

it was pretty hard to make friends my first year because i commute and i just didn't want to talk to anyone so i would just leave school right after last class.
but now its my 2nd year and in almost all of my classes i would have the same people in it and we all just start talking to each other and we would hang out sometimes to do homework, chill, and talk. i still commute but i sometimes go to my friends dorm to just hang out and play. when you're in college you're bound to find someone with your similar interest but you have to talk and not be afraid. ask questions, no one really cares. i guess it depends on your major too, because mine is engineering and the classes are very small, and so like i said i see most of my classmates more than 4 times in a day xD. but if you have a major like pre-med or business then i can see how it can be hard with so many people around.
