I am hoping that some of my current friends get into the same programs I am hopefully going in but I am also hoping that I can make friends with some people from the sports teams that I am going to try out for. I don't think making new friends at university is as hard as people make it seem.

I'm hoping that res will help me make friends because not one of my high school friends will be coming with me.
I also hear that frosh week breaks the ice somewhat.

I know that I am worried about making friends. Ido not know anyone from my high school that is going where I am going.
I am a very queit and reserved person, but Iam sure that I will be able to make friends.

I'm just about done my first year of university and I have had a hard time making friends. I work part time so I don't have any spare time to join any clubs, let alone get all my work done. For some people it's not easy to make friends in University.

i'm retty scared but i think it should be relatively easy to meet people since thats everyone's goal in the first few weeks.
i'm not really interested in frosh week but i guess if its in the interest of friends..we'll see what happens..

I'm so nervous to make friends! Also to share a room with someone I may not know. It freaks me out to be so far away from my tight group of friends. I'm very outgoing and I don't usually find it hard but I'm worried I might try to hard.

I'm actually happy that no one that I know is going to the same school as me. It gives me a chance to interact with alot of new people and not be expected to act in a way that people are accustomed to me acting. I'm really looking forward to meeting new people.

Same here. Even though some people I know are going to the same university as me, I'll still be metting a lot of new people making a lot of new friends. It definitely allows me to act like who I am without being expected to act a certain way. Also no one I know is going into my program so I'm very excited.

My friends say it can be hard to make new friends when you're ina lecture class at uni. The prof talks the enitre time, and w/ such a busy schedule...
I go to college so its not so bad, 30-40 ppl tops. You're more able to socialize, more group stuff.

Frosh week is vital. During that time everyone is nervous/excited about meeting new people, so meeting new people is incredibly easy. I remember talking with people waiting to get into class, having people sit down with me/us at lunch in Western's main caf (I say "us" because I've had first years start talking to my friends and me at lunch when we were in second year and again when we were in third year), meeting people at many of the events... I remember how I met one of my now good friends: I was walking along a path and he was oncoming, he asked me for a smoke, we somehow got talking, and yeah... now we are friends. Trust me, it will be EASY to meet new people, especially during frosh week. A lot of people from my high school went to Western (the university I go to), but, unless I run into one of them, I hardly ever talk with them anymore. Most of my current friends are people I met in residence, probably during frosh week.

I'm just scared.
I don't want to talk to bad people. @_@
I'm paranoid.
But I heard it was really hard to make friends... we had a former IB student visit us in class one day, and she said it was really hard.. we all nearly cried after that. =\
I'm really scared because I seriously will not know anyone. I don't have any HS friends who are interested in the same faculty as me, but we will be in the same building together, so that will be ok. xD

I'm not very scared about meeting people. Everyone I know who went to university had no problem meeting new friends. Like others say, just get out of your room once in awhile and you will be fine. Hang out in the common rooms and junk. I don't think I'll start up too many convos in class because I don't want to bother others or the prof, but maybe first week a little bit.
I'm really looking forward to the experience and think it will be fun. I have no worries really.

Meeting people at University is not hard at all! It seems intimidating at first but as long as you participate your fine! Just make sure to do some frosh week activities. The first week of school is definitely the best time to meet awesome people who also don't really know anyone! We're all in the same boat so its all good!
