Making Friends in Real Life, in Real Time
Try to get out of your room as much as possible and avoid being sucked into instant messaging or phoning old friends to complain about how homesick you are. It will only make you more homesick and prevent you from meeting new people.
Opening Doors to New Friendships
You can increase your odds of making friends by leaving your dorm room door open when you’re studying or hanging out. (But lock the door when you’re not in the room.) This will communicate to people that you are approachable and open to new friends, so they can drop by to say hello or ask about a homework assignment. Invite them in and strike up a conversation. Play music or make popcorn and let the buttery scent to waft down the hall. Someone is bound to drop by, giving you an opportune moment to share a snack and start a conversation.
I love you friends
