[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One truth about almost all colleges, whether it's a selective LAC or a big university: You can't rely on your classes or your dorms as place to make friends. Especially as an undergraduate, and you're coming into a new place where you don't know anybody.

You've got to do something outside of class, whether it's a sport, a theater group, the school newspaper or radio station, or even just a regular boardgame night or movie-watching club. It took me a while to realize this (at my big state school), and college life was much more comfortable once I started doing regular extracurriculars.

This is true, but it’s difficult when 40% of a class (sometimes 50% of men) are on a team and off campus for extended periods of time.  I think theater kids are just fine and international cohorts stick together, but take all those out and the pie is pretty small.  Start with 411 haveefrod freshman, 45% of whom are men. Then split the pie from there. GL![/quote]
