You can meet new people and make new friends by just opening up to new things. Everyday activities like going to the store or going to school, can make you friends if you're open to it. Meeting people isn't the tough part, something as simple as starting a conversation about something can help you meet someone. Becoming friends is the hard part, but you can overcome by asking for contact information and asking questions to get to know someone. Taking interest in someones life and bonding over little things can be the bridge between being aquaintances and being actual friends.

As a college student, some ways that have opened the opportunity to meet new people is attending club fairs and club meetings. While it can definitely be nerve-racking to be in a new environment and step out of your comfort zone, it's worth a shot to meet cool people who could share common interests with you. Another way is forming small study groups with people in your class. You can exchange contact with each and connect that way. Don't be afraid to open up the conversation to more than just about assignments --chances are that they could be looking for a new friend as well!
