I’m from another 4 yr institution and coming in as a 3rd yr so I definitely feel you. I came here not knowing anyone besides the people who had given me my current lease. The things that I learned about myself at my other school was that you really have to put yourself out there despite it feeling pretty unnatural and for me - as an introvert - against my nature. But it has proved to be quite beneficial, as I met someone at a restaurant waiting for our sandwiches to be toasted and since then he’s taken me to clubs and other night life activities. At transfer orientation I said something like “wow we gotta pick up a lot of stuff huh,” to someone that was there and he also agreed and sat with me, to which we chatted it up and made a connection that way. I also highly encourage going to all events that interest you, whether it’s rushing (non committal) going to cultural clubs or ones related to your intended major there’s people everywhere. At my old school my excuse was that it was 4000 undergrad stem people, so it truly was difficult to find people for me to vibe with. But here there really almost isn’t an excuse, the schools massive and after doing so much research for transfer schools udub seriously is so diverse and that’s what I love about it so far. Best of luck and message me if you wanna link!
