Hello! I’m a young guy mid twenties. I just moved to a new area for grad school and I want to try making new friends from scratch but I kinda don’t know what I’m doing. So any advice would be great!

  1. If you are in grad school your cohorts should become close friends. You will be spending a lot of time with them researching, collaborating as TA’s, or taking classes together.

    Other than them, join a club or two based off your hobbies. School in general is one of the easiest ways to meet people that are at your same stage in life. It’s much harder making friends as an adult when work and family become your major priorities.

  2. [This might help.](https://anadvi.com/?p=65) You need to become familiar with people before you become friends with them. The best way to do this is to put yourself around the same people on a regular basis.

  3. The key is to go to places or groups where there are other people also looking to make new friends. This could be many different things including bars, recreational sports leagues, meetups, and so on. Whenever you are in of these places, look for people who are standing on their own, don’t seem to have a group of friends with them. Go over and start chatting them up. When you enjoy someone’s company, tell them your situation, you just moved here, are looking for people to hang out with, get their number and them invite them to do stuff. Some of them will want to hang out with you; some won’t.

  5. Indulge in hobbies if you have any – friendships develop from there. Casually dating locals is also a good way to be introduced to different circles.
