-- Posted by jonny5 at 11:17 pm on July 20, 2008 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. -- Posted by RossTheHoss69 at 11:18 pm on July 20, 2008 If you don't want to go, then why are you? Can you not go to a school that's closer to your home? -- Posted by jonny5 at 11:20 pm on July 20, 2008 Quote: from RossTheHoss69 at 2:18 am on July 21, 2008 If you don't want to go, then why are you?

Also, I hate where I live, I mean the south. -- Posted by dr woot at 11:21 pm on July 20, 2008 Where are you going? -- Posted by jonny5 at 11:22 pm on July 20, 2008 Quote: from dr woot at 2:21 am on July 21, 2008 Where are you going? A college in Boston. -- Posted by dr woot at 11:23 pm on July 20, 2008 BU? The size of the campus has something to do with the odds of meeting someone that you'll click with. -- Posted by jonny5 at 11:24 pm on July 20, 2008 Quote: from dr woot at 2:23 am on July 21, 2008 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. -- Posted by dr woot at 11:26 pm on July 20, 2008 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. -- Posted by HatesYou at 6:06 pm on July 26, 2008 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. -- Posted by emonkey85 at 2:38 pm on July 31, 2008 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.
