Hi, my name is Mable. I came in from another country so it is extremely difficult to fit in as an international student. I feel so lonely and isolated and this is making it difficult to find a community of people who share similar concerns and interests as me. It is so hard to deal with feelings of homesickness and loneliness in a foreign land . Please help me…….I feel so alone.
Hi Mable!! I am Candance and I am a senior here. When I first came to college it was hard to make friends, I found myself eating at the dining hall by myself and staying in most weekends. I know I needed to make a change. I started going to the group workout classes at the gym and slowly began to make friends that share similar interests. I started grabbing dinner with them after class and meeting their friends, and after some time my social circle grew and have a great group of friends. My tip is to step outside your comfort zone and get out there! Try and do group activities you love and you’ll meet people that are like you!
