I am a freshman going to a University of California, and I am living off campus, in student apartments. I chose not to live in the dorms because I wanted my own space and stuff. Now it is ALL students who live in these apartments, but they are all upper classmen and already have their groups of friends. so I hardly met any of them and the ones I did didn't care for freshman. I have no roomate, I live alone, so I get very lonley and it sucks cuz then I feel all down and stuff. Then the people right across from me hung out with me and I realized that over time (couple weeks of hanging out) they were just kind of being nice, when in realitty I am still an outsider to them. It really sucks. Also, all the girls I have met already have boyfriends and the only girls left I have no desire to meet, and no my expectations aren't to high. Finally, I am taking 12 instead of 16 units and I am still finding it difficult, and I graduated High School with a 4.3 cummulative. So my workload is a lot and hard, my so called only group of friends are fake, I am lonely, and right now at the moment I am very high but it helped me to realize all this. Thanks for listening, HELP!

I'd say at least half of all incomming freshman hate college for the first month at least. It happens, it's a big change, and the fact that you willingly decided to not expand your social life like probably 50 of of the other freshman...well, that just makes it harder (if you can't tell, I'm a HUGE advocate of living in the dorms, but that's another story). Keep in mind: Almost every freshman is in the same boat as you are. Nearly no one comes to school already having friends. If you have any Welcome Week activities, go to all of them, go to all the hall/apartment programs, it's a great way to meet people, after all: that's what they're there for! Maybe try talking to your RA even, and asking him/her what programs are good to get involved in. What about your workload are you finding difficult? College is different from high school, and you cannot treat it the same. The work and work load are different, and teachers expect different things from you. If you feel like you are going to struggle then get help with your work now rather than later (as by the time you realize "I'm failing", it's already too late).

 By the way, do you go to USC? 
USC isn't a UC, but I am curious what college you go to all the same.

USC stands for University of Southern California, so what do you mean? And, i'm not in collage at the moment...
The University of Southern California is not in the UC system, it is a different university. UCs include: UCR, UCSD, UCLA, UCSB, UCSF, UCSC, and probably others that I've forgotten. Post edited at 12:56 am on Sep. 7, 2006 by JennyColada

USC is just a private university I believe. Most schools don't really have systems like the UC system does. I don't really know why we're (meaning California) so special, but it's nice, because it's really easy (well, easier) to transfer between the UC colleges (as they tend to work together and sometimes even have special programs with one another).
Ok, so USC doesn't have that system were you can transfer to one college to another? Because, I here in some cases, you can't transfer from one college to another unless the college is...um...I forgot the name. It's like, Regionally transferable...or something with big words. Lol! Do you know what i'm talking about?

No, you can transfer to and from USC, but it's easier to transfer between UCs as they all share a same bond (like a tree, that has different branches, it's eaier to get to one branch from another rather than jumping to a new tree).
