I'm going to an out of state college where I don't know anyone. I'm naturally very introverted and I fear I will become a recluse. I don't want this to happen but I'm really shy. I know the best advice is to just get out there and meet people but I'm not like that. I don't want to sit in my room all day reading a writing (for school and not for school) though.

i'm from the boston area and while i'm going to school in NH all my friends go to school in boston, none go to suffolk though. boston is an awesome city and even if you're an introvert (much like me (-:) you 'll make a lot of friends, from kids at all different colleges.

baha. dude. you're going to school Boston.
you'll be fine. everyone's outgoing and there will be plenty students that feel the same as you.
besides, Suffolk is in the heart of Boston.
Tons of shit to do there when you have free time and, like i said, people are bound to associate with you casually.

you'll be fine.

You'll find at least a few friends. And from those friends you'll find their friends, and their friends. It's like Pay it forward, but for friendship.

BU?

The size of the campus has something to do with the odds of meeting someone that you'll click with.


Suffolk University, it's a small private school. I think maybe around 5 thousand.

If you don't want to go, then why are you?
Can you not go to a school that's closer to your home?

I want to go, I'm just afraid I'll end up being lonely... Also, I hate where I live, I mean the south.
