I'll be her IM pal...I suggest a shrink though. It may seem like a bad thing, to go to a shrink, but they help people, tell her to give it a chance.

She may have a social disorder or a panic disorder, a big problem but well treatable!
Please check out: http://www.psychologyinfo.com/problems/panic_disorder.html
This is a medical disorder and can be thelped. There are thousands in the same fix. For students, there are references for them as well. I went to a Mental Health Center near my home for free, and was able to see a therapist and attended group therapy also for free.
There is a lot of help for panic disorder that was not available when I was in school---don't worry, or give up!

Maybe beofre you leave take your friend out to different places (school functions, etc) where she can interact and then maybe the others willl see that she is not so bad!! Good Luck!

i feel for ya in this situation.....i know from experience that panic attacks can be awful and keep a person from being all they can be...and unfortunately, people do not understand and often mistake the person to be snotty or conceited---when in all actuality they are quiet the opposite.......oh my gosh...now you have me worrying about this person.........especially when you dont have the funds to get adequate help........i do not know what to tell ya except to keep being this persons friend and try to get her connected with other friends because she will need them when you move

Maybe smoke a little pot. And relax. There's people with much worse problems, so just try to overcome the social issues, she'll make friends.

before you go, try to make more friends and then introduce them to yuor friend. if you hang out together hopefully she'll become more comfortable around them and be ok once you leave.

This is your time to introduce your friend to your other friends. Show your friends how wonderful she is. She's shy not haughty. I used to be her. She just need a little nudge.

in otherwards she believes in herself and she does'nt talk to a specific group at school, so what about others, if she likes to read libraries, sports. In my opinion its up to her to try be friendly, Its up to her.
