University social life is where friendships—and often relationships—begin. But large campuses can feel lonely. The key is showing up consistently in spaces where you already belong.

Volunteer, do not just attend—working an event creates instant teamwork
Follow up with people you enjoyed talking to
Keep first hangouts low-pressure and public
