I am a foreign Masters student, I came here alone and don’t know anyone. I wanted to talk to people after my lectures but, everyone immediately leaves after the class with their own group and scatter across the huge campus until the next class starts. I don’t know what to do until the next class starts, so I just walk around the campus.
I am friends with two really kind French girls who are studying a different major in my university. I only managed to talk to them because they were my roommates for the past week. Otherwise, I would’ve never been able to talk to them.
Last week, there was an event in my uni through which I could join clubs. I joined a lot of clubs in hopes to be able to socialize and meet new people. I am not much of a party guy, I usually do best in one on one conversation due to my hearing disability.
What do you recommend? How did you socialize in college and make your own little group of friends?

Groups often adopt new members. Its what makes groups interesting. Try being yourself to people who you think are similar to you. Offer plans, talk about classes, and club are an amazing way to get involved! You also always be the friend first, just start by coming up to someone at one of your social clubs and ask them what they do for the club and want brought them to it. This will usually spark a conversation about yourself and why you’re here too.
Almost all people in groups are still open to meeting new people.
