thats what I did this past semester!
Smile..if you look mean or stuck up, you'll never meet anybody.
Talk to people you normally wouldn't, and give everyone a chance, thats how I met some good friends.
Roommates and people you have classes with are the best friends you can have (and the best study group!)
Don't be afraid to join a club or frat/sorority if you're having a hard time making friends. Its cliche, but its true-you instantly belong in those places
Get a job/volunteer. It'll keep you busy, build your resume, and let you meet people off campus (think connections!)

I moved alone a few years ago, I was sooo scared but it was the best move I ever made. It's easy to make friends when you are new to a place because it's a great conversation started. Ask people for directions, fun things to do, to show you around and you'll have a circle of friends in no time.

Do whatever is the best thing for you to do. If it is best for you to go to Portland State University then I say go. you can meet new people, make new friends, fullfill your career or degree. If you don't think that Portland State University is the best place for you to be, then don't go. you know the best thing for you to do. You just have to think about it. I wish you the best of luck in choosing the best decision for you. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I went to a a college where I knew no one. It doesn't last long, you will have roommates and classmates you will get to know, plus you can join all kinds of groups and clubs. Look at it this way, you can make any positive changes you want to in yourself, cause no one there has any preconceived ideas about what you are like.

Well, I used to move every 2 or 3 years. It was tough to make friends and fit in, but not impossible. I talked when I should, I didn't try to hard. It makes you seem needy. I never dared change my personality. I was polite, I acted well. I did some try outs, camps, stuff like that. It was almost like friends came knocking at my door.
It's easy to make friends, just be yourself, do what you would normally do, and friends will come. Don't try to hard to fit in, But don't try to little. You will now what to do. Trust me.

i am really outgoing and never shy so that would be my dream come true, i love new people and i would thrive on all the newness, you should try it, just go out and be yourself and dont worry about what everyone thinks, go to activities and gatherings that interest you and dont be afraid to talk to people
