Handshakes are the norm here although being the antisocial loner dork I am when I first went away to college after a couple years in the workforce I did not know about the different handshake college students used. Instead of a conventional handshake you would slap their hand like you are doing a high five at waist level, then pull your hand back, sliding your hand across theirs while curling your fingers into a fist and do a fist bump. I think I was literally the only guy on campus that did not know how to do this handshake when I arrived. Really awkward the first time a guy tried shaking my hand and I got it all wrong. I'm so glad I don't have to shake hands that way anymore.
