Tips for Making Friends on Campus

Peer Guide: Laila Terry

1. Go to Orientation

Whether you’re attending a large university with several orientation groups throughout the summer, or a smaller college with an orientation week before classes begin, go and make the most ofit.

2. Living Learning Communities (LLCs)

If you’re worried about finding people that have similar interests to you to hang out with, maybe a LLC is the place for you.

3. First-Year Seminars/Courses in Common

Some colleges and universities require students to enroll in a first-year seminar. These are usually writing-intensive courses and may count towards a general education requirement.

4. Join a Club

If you’re looking for a ready-made friend group on campus, the most logical thing to do is to join a club. After being in class all day and working on homework during downtime, you’re going to need something fun to do!
