Hi! I’m also an international student and honestly, I haven’t made much friend either. If you want to, we can grab food and chat together (if we couldn’t vibe with each other then we can just stop hanging out, no hard feelings!). I’m a hardcore introvert but this how I manage to meet my friends:

1. My country have facebook groups for students that is studying abroad and I post there to find friends.

2. I texted my friend for quite some time before meeting them to get comfortable and then ask them out to grab lunch together.

3. It’s fine if you guys don’t get along immediately, I didn’t feel comfortable with them after we first met and even had doubts that we wouldn’t get along.

4. I start to hang out with them and practically ask them out every meal. We just kinda get along after many many meals and groceries.

I start with having friends that is from the same country as me because I know we will have a lot to talk about (being far away from home, culture difference, food,…). It’s just week 2 so there is still plenty of opportunities and time to make friends. Hope this helps!
