[quote=Anonymous]What sports did he play in HS? Encourage him to join intramural sports or club sports on campus. Low pressure but a great way to meet other kids and get some exercise. Club swimming is usually popular, and there are all kinds of fun options- ultimate frisbee, rock climbing, quidditch (called Quadball in college). If he’s into engineering, many schools have F1 clubs that are pretty cool. I told my son to not expect that he would make lifelong friends the first semester of college, and not to expect that he would be best friends with his roommate. Typically there’s a big shuffling of social groups that first semester, and the kids who bonded during orientation start to branch out and meet more people from classes, etc. My son really met his close friends sophomore year, and I think that’s pretty typical. Hang in there- it’s only mid-September and he will meet his people, it will just take a bit of time. [/quote]
