My very first college that i attended was a commuting college. it was about 2 hour ride by train from my house. i didn't mind waking up at 5 am to get ready and catch the 6 o'clock train to get to school by 8. but after a while it got really annoying and sometimes i was really tired and i ended up hating it. so i realize that next trimester i should change my schedule to afternoon classes.
Making friends in a commuting college is a little bit harder than a dorm college. I am a very friendly, nice, talkitive woman so it was easier for me to make some friends. in a commuting college everyone is minding their own business and they have their headphones on. when class starts no one talk to each other everyone just coming to class and leave when its done. if you want to make some friends, you have to be the one that is taking the first step and asking their name etc...STEPS INTO MAKING FRIENDS IN COLLEGE!!!!
1- Be the first to approach the human being!!!! DON'T BE AFRAID!! they don't bite.. (maybe) :)
2- Join your college clubs!!!
3- Participate in the student activities that goes on in your college/university.. YOU PAY FOR IT!! GO TO IT!!!
4- Try to have conversations with you classmates. interact with them!
5- if you really want friends go to your school library, hide behind a bookshelf when someone is passing by jump out from your hiding space and say "I WANT YOU TO BE MY FRIEND"! ( LOL just kidding.. don't do it.. haha maybe ).
