How to Make Friends in College
How to Make Friends in College 1. Volunteer to Help Your Dorm Hall's Resident Assistant If you're living in a dorm, there are many opportunities to lend a helping hand, especially with the RA (aka Resident Assistant). Every hall or floor in a dorm has an RA who is there to help students and plan fun events to help the dorm bond. If you let the RA know you'd like to get involved, you'll be right at the center of the action with many chances to make friends.

Returning Students: Help New Students During Move-In Day All first-year students have move-in day. They park outside the dorm, haul loads of stuff into their rooms, and meet their roommates. Colleges will often recruit second-year students to volunteer to carry things into the dorm for new students. Whether your college has an official process or not, volunteer to help the new kids. It's a great chance to befriend students who are already eager to make new friends. Move-In Day For New Students If you're on the other end of move-in day, and you're unloading your stuff into your new dorm room, keep an eye out for the students who are there to help. This is a great opportunity to meet people who are already being friendly. Seize the moment and ask the helpers if there are any fun events on-campus they plan to attend that week - then ask other students moving in if they want to go. 3. Take a Fun Elective Most universities offer interesting electives such as sailing or the Physics of Star Trek. Many of these unusual classes have fewer students which means you have a golden opportunity to get to know your classmates. In addition, the adventure of sailing or the weirdness of studying phasers from Star Trek will create a unique bond with your peers, which could lead to genuine friendships that continue outside of class.
