Friends only end in disappointment.

If you want any type of lasting fulfilling friendship, don't waste your time with normal people and seek out the funny oddballs. If your friends are hilarious, then it doesn't matter what you're doing or where you are. I wouldn't recommend this to everyone, but I can't envision any other type of circle working out for your personality.

My sister, the world's most sociable person, recently called home three or four days running, near tears 'cause she was afraid she wouldn't make friends at her first year out in Cali. My advice to you is the same as to her - leave your room, don't come back, do activities and **** and get the **** off of SF!

Conne, the other option is to start playing WoW again. It's not like you get any ***** anyway.

I did not start meeting people that I would consider my "group" of friends till second semester last year which was my second semester after transferring schools. I met people in the first semester but they were not my "go to" friends. More like just people I know...I did have a roommate who had been going here since freshman year and invited me out all the time with his friends.

However, I think being a transfer student it takes a bit of time as most people are not really "looking" to make friends as opposed to when everyone is a freshman and seems to be looking to make friends everywhere. And a few weeks is not always enough time.

I transferred halfway through college and it was difficult for a while.

A large number of the bonds and friendships most people make in college are formed in the first few weeks in the dorms freshman year. When you transfer to a different school, you throw all that away and have to start from scratch.

Still, it sounds like you're doing the right thing. Just keep at it, it will take time. That is just the reality of being a transfer student.

Wait, you're still a student?

The impression I got from your posts was that you were some working professional hotshot in his 30s...
