I'm gonna go alone, grab some popcorn(or food), sit on the lawn, watch people, and possibly fall asleep under the shade.
Hopefully, I'll meet someone  |

u may feel alone at first and a bit uneasy (I know I will be) but there's thousands of first years so u're bound to make friends and there'll be other shy ppl too!!! Anyone going to welcome week alone? I live off campus and all my friends decided not to join in on welcome week stuff :(

I went to welcome week today with a friend who's in third year, but I wasn't able to make any friends from my own year. I was probably at fault because I came later in the day when most of the socs events had started and I couldnt find a group to join. How can I still make friends? Does socs start all over tomorrow with new groups? I really want to make friends in mcmaster that are my own age ... I don't want to be a loner in class. :(
... sorry to post a new question on this thread, but it seems like people know what they're talkingg about here.  |

You can make friends in tutorials and labs quite easily. For now, just go up to people during the events and introduce yourself, ask them questions to get to know them and go from there.

If anyone's lonely, I'm going to have some downtime after Clubsfest tomorrow (well, possibly after Airbands if I decide to show to that) and wouldn't mind some company, so I was thinking about having a mini-meetup somewhere (Hamilton Hall is MI's usual spot). I think it'd be a good chance for all the people here who still haven't found a group of friends to get to know each other, and it might be a good chance to find out who's in your class before they start.
...I'll be hanging out in HH regardless, so feel free to drop by. I'm/we're usually in the blackboards: to the left when you go up the front/main stairs, then on your left again. Maybe I'll write MI on the board or something.

If you're in SOCS or res and you're having a hard time meeting people - talk to the reps. It helps to have friends the same age as you but it also helps to have upper year friends. Reps are enthusiastic, friendly, helpful, dedicated and trained to handle a variety of situations. Just because you see them cheering like crazy, doesn't mean you will be forced to do that around them

Lawley and I are here now if anybody wants autographs or something. =p
Still deciding on airbands, but if we do go we left a sign on the board to let you know you're in the right area.
