I guess I'm in the same boat. I've been here for a month now, people are all starting to click, and I'm in the exact same position as when I started - I still don't know anybody. I have a few people that I talk to on the hall but nothing beyond the occasional eating together. I feel like I already missed my chance to get to know the people on the floor and now it's gone. I don't drink, but I smoke a lot of pot, which seems to be kind of taboo around here (Southern school with conservative rep). My roommate is a nice guy and all, but we really don't have too much in common. Of course, I did make the ultimate mistake. Choosing the school I'm at because of my girlfriend, not where I wanted to go. Don't you sometimes wish you actually listened to people when they give you advice =\. I'm going to give it a shot tonight and go to a party at the alternative/weird/philosophy dorm, I guess I will see how that goes. I'm going to see how this semester goes but still put in some transfer applications for my sophmore years, and see how things turn out. The schools I wanted to go to were just so radically different from this - small, intense, midwestern, liberal arts colleges versus a "prestigious" southern university.

I guess I should go open my door now...

edit - actually you know i think im on the right track. ive been playing disc golf with these guys and have been having a good time. ive met a few other freshman who play through the juniors who "run" the "club." i suppose i can only echo the comments of others to get involved in anything that interests you.
