When I first stepped onto campus as an international student, I felt super lost. Everyone seemed to already have their groups formed, and I was just trying to find my way around. I thought, is there a secret to making friends in college?

What ended up working for me was getting involved in clubs related to my interests. Joining a few campus organizations not only helped me meet like-minded people but also eased my nerves. I also made it a point to attend social events and participate in study groups. Those late-night study sessions turned out to be really fun and a great way to bond!

Would love to hear what others have done—or are still trying—to make connections!
