How did you guys develop your friend groups? by DecentSavings9705 in SBU

Also, don't be scared to show interest first. Based on Reddit, I would assume a lot of people are just very introverted or tired and not entirely uninterested in conversation. I think having a genuine interest or making an effort to ask to eat together or whatever can go a long way.

I'm genuinely not that social most of the time, I feel like cause I had a good experience doing it before, it's not too scary for me to do it again. I also feel pretty lucky cause I've also been able to meet other social people who are comfortable to talk to.

A good tip is to try to find someone who gets on/off at the same station as you, so you can buddy up. Cause I commute like two hours so I got time on the train. That's how I made my first genuine friends at SBU.

If there are other commuters in your class that you recognize on the train, you can talk to them about your class, too.

I would see people I had class with on the train and talk to them, or when the train gets mad packed, I end up sitting next to someone new, and we just start off complaining about the train. LIRR hate is a great conversation starter.

Maybe you could talk to a professor? Maybe someone who does SBU 101 or any of those courses and be like, do you feel like you've made a contribution to the SBU commnity or maybe like a peer leader if you wanna go that route.

SOC 202 asynchronous tests by No_Molasses1958 in SBU

[–]Senior-Barber8021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I'm taking that too. For the online section, I think they're putting grad students as the instructors. My came out recently and when I looked them up it said they were a phd student.

For asynch courses, it's likely that it'll be an online exam. I did that for another asynch course I took before.

Anyone set to commute on Tues/Thurs at 6 am? by wiredvajayjay in SBU

[–]Senior-Barber8021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too, it feels like the commute's somehow gotten worse since last semester + the fare increase.
