[quote=Anonymous]I mean, sure, the school could be doing more. But these are also adults.

She just needs to get out of her shell and be assertive. College isn’t like middle school. People won’t really say no if you ask to sit down at lunch.  I find it unlikely that her dorm doesn’t have any social events.

If she goes to a meeting, stick around after and talk to someone and ask if they want to grab coffee or even just exchange numbers or social media ids.

Joining a service group might be good. They will be doing activities when they meet and so it’s less awkward.

But mostly, your niece needs to decide how much of this she will own or not. First few weeks of college, people are tryi by to meet others. She could easily meet people. They may not end up her best friends but she will meet other people through them.

She needs to start saying hi to people in her dorm. See people as you walk in or out? Say hi! Someone will be in one of those huge classes. Then, it’s “ugh, can’t believe this problem set” and so on. If she’s going to be head down, expect other people to do the work, it’s going to be hard. [/quote]
