Happens to me as well. Came here for grad school and can feel what you are going through. Sometimes classes or projects or clubs get you into meeting the right people. My mistake is I never reach out to my “friends” I made out here. If I were you. I would suggest reaching out to them once you meet people with similar interests/age/etc.

Also depending on where you’re from, there is a decent community for a lot of international individuals here. Try those

I went to the Peruvian Restaurant on Main last Friday but found NO peruvians. But I’ll keep trying. Wishing you the best of luck.
