Meeting New people

Changing homes can be difficult, but changing your lifestyle is a completely other story. No worries though, along with new places comes the opportunity to meet new people. Sure you have friends waiting for you back home but it doesn't mean you need to sit around all day all by yourself in your room. You would go crazy by the time the end of the semester arrived.

Having friends in your hometown you know you can count on no matter the distance is important in your life, I know it is for me. But it's also important to have people to interact with when you are in a different place in the world. The easiest way to meet new people, go out into the world and get yourself involved in organizations or events that you are interested in. For someone who might be shy or scared of going to a new place it might not be easy at first but once you're out there, you won't know what you were scared of in the first place.

A recommendation: start by meeting people that belong to groups that will make you feel comfortable, this makes it easier, then expand your networks. You do need to keep in mind that the more you lock yourself in your room, the less you will be able to be included in fun activities. As long as you keep your mind open to any possibility, the more opportunities will emerge for meeting great people.
