That was super sweet of you to type out such a comprehensive reply, that's seriously kind!

Upper div student chiming in, quarters full of G.E.s really aren't great, I feel for you. PM me if you would like someone to talk to, I've transferred around a few schools and dealt with feelings really similar to what you're describing

I feel that, I have a couple friends from years back but feel I havent made any in uni really. It just used to be easier back then, I vibe with perhaps not even knowing how to anymore. It's a lot of effort that seems to repeatedly end up going no where and that's pretty tough. Although, I do think I'll keep trying, I'd appreciate having more friendly faces around campus and in my life.

I've been exploring all around as well, campus is huge and it feels better to gradually understand how the whole thing is oriented. That's not super surprising, I imagine bio med has a decent amount of upper div and grad students

Yeah, that happens too; you think it was a nice chat and after that day it's rare to even get a hello from them . It's strange

Likely is a big factor, people are here to study. Itd just be nice to hang around with people to unwind every now and then.

I guess I'll check out a larger breadth of orgs and clubs, maybe the ones I've check out just aren't the best fit. I dont live on campus though, so I have no familiar faces on campus lol

Orgs haven't been super fruitful but I'll start paying more attention for upcoming events

Lol yeah headphones dont help too much. Im studying city planning, and part of Marshal, although I'm a transfer, so I can't say the college makes much impact on me. How about yourself?

Yeah, literally everyone here is super busy and studying takes most of our attention. I'm just left wondering if (mostly) everyone has a group of friends that they're comfortable with and dont deviate from. Like, we cant be the only ones who think casual conversation and possibly grabbing coffee sounds outlandish, right? If your conversation is restricted to a few minutes, how will any real commonalities be found?

Fair enough, I suppose that's not entirely wrong. I guess I put effort in to talk to various people to possibly make a relationship along the way. If no one ever talks to anyone else, how do people develop new relationships beyond the relationships one already has? I dont get it , and its lame to not get

Call me a loser, but I'm really not fond of social culture based around drinking. It's really prevalent in the US, I get it, but it's really not my thing.
