Yeah! Kentucky! I went there for a year before I transfered to USC. Best place ever!

You must just not be trying hard enough. The students at Kentucky were the best. A lot better than here in Los Angeles. Real friendly and open to anyone. My first and only college girlfriend still goes there for graduate school.

Anyway, if you really want to meet people fast, go to a football game or a basketball game. Football games are real fun and as long as you are a Kentucky student, you will be accepted automaticaly as one of them. Even if you don't like football or basketball you can just chill in the parking lot before the game and there are people everywhere. And there is almost ALWAYS a party after the game at either the football dorms or at a house. Those are where the REAL FUN times happen. Everyone is invited as long as you're at the game and hear where it's at.

The only cliques I would stay away from are a couple of the sororities. But I think that's any college. A couple like D Phi E think they are from Hollywood and shit and treat everyone like crap. Don't even waste your time with them.

But yeah, enjoy your time in Lexington. It was the best year of my life. Even more than the two years I did at USC. And if you see a grad student walking around named Angelina Ramos, tell her Boss said what's up. Haha.

Wow! University is one of the easiest places to meet people. you would have to live in your room 24/7 not to meet anybody! Are you living in the dorm? Do you have any hobbies, activities you enjoy? I would say the easiest way to meet people is to look for group/activities that you enjoy and if you don't have any, pick one. For example, I know many people that made friends in this dancing club; they went there on their own, and met people there. You can also join volunteering groups; maybe get in a tutoring class.etc etc.

I'd look for a club of people with a common interest.chess, travel,.or an ethnic one if you 're in the right category. Anyplace where you find people that have the same interests as you!

The best way for you to meet people is to simply put yourself out there. I know it sucks to be the girl with no friends and watching people in cliques makes you want that social comfortableness (new word).

Join as many clubs as you can where you have an activity and be able to interact. Start looking around campus for these clubs and from there you'll start meeting new people.

Try talking to some of the people in your classes or in your school of study (medicine, law, or whatever it is). Maybe seeing if there's a study group you could join.

Do you have a roomate? Do you live in a dorm? That could also be a source of meeting new people.

Everyone else's advice is REALLY good.

I am in my second year and I am still lonely in a sea of people. I have my sister, so that is good. But I have never really socialized as much as many other people did. I stay in my room or go to the library and work. That is my life in university. I am sure you will be fine, I did talk to some people, but I am not much of a party animal. I would just say to look confident, people just talked to me in my rez and didn't even know me. Join groups, talk to random people in class. Now that is really difficult, I still have problems with that. lol.

just have confidence and be yourself. It's important not to pretend to be someone everyone else wants you to be, or someone you think people want you to be.
