College is an incredibly different experience than high school. This simple fact is what makes it tough for many people to make the proper transition. The classes are harder, the stress is higher, and you don't have parent's to answer to. You have quite a bit of freedom. Making friends in college is easier than you think.

    The first thing you should remember is that the beginning of the year is prime time to make friends. No one has established connections with anyone. That means that you can go in there, and make many friends in a single day or night simply because you started talking to someone. In high school, it may have been a bit tough to approach people when all their friends are around. But in college, no one has friends at the start. Use this idea to your advantage.

    Don't be afraid to talk to people. And don't be afraid to listen. Kids are used to unloading on their parents, and when their parents are gone, they are going to need someone to unload on. If you can become that person for someone, they will be your friend for years to come.

    Don't sit in your dorm room at night. Video games are the biggest problem with people just sitting in their rooms all night. Don't be like that. You need to have a leg up on the competition.

    Set up study groups. Not only will this help you with classes, but you'll meet people at the same point in their college careers.

    大學相對于高中是一段難以想象、完全不同的經(jīng)歷。對于許多人來說，如何適應這種轉(zhuǎn)變，是你必須自己面對的事情。功課更加繁重，壓力增大，沒有父母告訴你該怎么做。你獲得了相對的一些自由，交朋友也因此變得更加簡單。

    你要記得的第一件事是上大學的第一年是交朋友的黃金時段。大家都不熟悉，沒有固定的關系。這就意味著，在某一天或某個晚上，僅僅因為你和某些人開始交談，你就能交到許多朋友。在中學，當其所有他人有自己的圈子的時候，你很難進入其中。但是在大學，當開始的時候，大家都沒有朋友。利用這種觀念展現(xiàn)你的優(yōu)點。

    不要害怕對別人講話， 不要害怕聽別人說話。嬰兒對父母是沒有防備的，當父母不在身邊的時候，他們需要別人讓其沒有防備。如果你能讓某些人對你卸下心防，他們就會變成你多年的朋友。

    晚上不要呆在宿舍里，對于那些整晚呆在宿舍里的人，電腦游戲是最大的問題。不要像他們那樣，你必須和大家在一起。

    成立研究小組，這不但會有助于學習功課，并且你能夠在這里遇到許多朋友。
