how do i make friends at college
I’m a freshman very far away from home and i have no friends. i’m going to a state uni, and man i’m cooked. it’s predominantly white, it’s so hard to make friends and i feel so weird wherever i go. it’s a very liberal school so im happy that there’s people that share my same political stance but idk if anyone shares my interests. there’s cliques already, like the white girls who like to party, the indie white girls who listen to 80s rock, the alt kids, the frat boys and etc but i’m asian and i fit into none of those things. college just started and im already dorm camping and ordering food, i literally don’t eat because i have no one to go with to the dining hall which is like a 25 min walk from my dorm, and even in the welcome week thing, there’s so many people that it’s so hard to just go up to them and talk. i love my roommate but she does her own thing and i love that for her, it’s just so bad because the only person i talk to is literally the one girl who’s republican and it’s bc we are both lonely.

As all comments have mentioned, seek clubs that match your interests because nothing creates solid friendships than nerds getting together. There's a good chance that there are clubs for Asian culture appreciation that you could join if you want to connect with people similar to your roots. Seek out some clubs involving physical activities like tre...... reply
As the other comments say try start conversation, but why it has to be your political idea? I'm a freshman too but in Brazil, here is so weird you only being friends with the same political idea that it push me off guard, it's elections this year so a lot of people fight like the political are they own family however even in times like that only th...... 3 reply
I’m in a really similar situation as you. But I think mines worse only because instead of just being a junior to the school where others are also new, im new transfer to the school and everyone in general. They have all formed their little groups.
However I also think it’s a good thing that im new, people don’t know you. You make the first...... reply
