How do I meet friends at Purdue University?

I go to Purdue University and cannot meet any friends even though there are 40,000 students. Does anyone here go to Purdue University and need a friend?

How do I meet friends at Purdue University?
Alright, I go to Purdue. Last year (my freshman year) I knew practically no one. It sucked to say the least. All I can tell you is try to make friends with the people in your classes. Start a convo with someone before class. It makes classes go by a lot faster if you know people in there. Plus you can help each other with homework and studying for exams. Another tip is to get involved in some club. There're a LOT of clubs out there at Purdue, and if you find one about something you're interested in, you automatically have something in common with all the others in the group. This year has been sooo much better for me. I've gotten involved in activities and I feel a lot happier. Try it! Hope that helps!! :)
Reply:If you don't live in a dorm move to one next semester. Ask your counselor if there are dorms that seem to attract certain types IE.. jocks, music students, education, serious studiers or party types. Then choose your poison! I went to IU Bloomington and was very shy but by the end of the year was doing ok.


The other thing to do is rent a room in a large off campus house (not a rooming house!). Choose carefully, meet all the people there and if you're a clean freak check the bathroom and kitchen. Are they friendly of standoffish. Look on the door and you will find an occupancy rate sticker there. Don't put extra people in because the City can evict and fine you!


Join a club-hiking, reading, Latin, film, just pick something you're interested in!


Volunteer somewhere.


Take a ceramics, badminton or fencing class.


Smile and introduce yourself! People are attracted to happy vibes. Don't gush, listen and don't be critical.


oh, and the strip club idea above. It's not a friend if you pay for their attention it's business.
Reply:when i first went to school i too had no friends....i found the quickest way to make friends was to go to the local strip club and become a stripper. I mean then guys pay you to be their friend that night!!! Just wait....you too will have so many guy friends just like me :)
