but hey no huge debt!

College is more about socialization and networking than it is about learning. Sorry you got justed but the community college meme.

>>15425353
Fucking feels bad man. Moved to a new city to attend this university (At least I'm attending it for free). Don't know anyone and I feel like such an outsider. Even when I try to talk converse with neighbors I feel like they're not interested. It doesn't help that I'm not into video games, sports, or TV/movies...Pretty much rules out most conversation topics. When I was at my cc, I was able to make acquaintances really easily, even if most of them were older students and/or single moms/married mommies.

>>15425264
Huge mistake. You need to be surrounded by the best to become the best. Community college is a bunch of imbeciles, I would never be caught dead interacting w those people, way below me. That’s how you get ahead tho have to have that mentality

Met my best friend and now business partner 10+ years ago in community college... Yall playin yourselves

depends on profession
if you're doing med, engineering, law, first 2 years is strategic in cc is very strategic in terms of buffering grades and saving money

if you're doing something finance related, you should go straight to a reputable college to network

>>15425445
>I'm not into video games, sports, or TV/movies
So what the fuck do you try to talk about?

>>15425264
When I started college I already had 2 people from my middle school class and on the first day of college some girl from my group randomly introduced herself and hung out with us. I dropped out in the end though.

>>15425565
I-I can talk about music (I play guitar), finance(Not crypto shit, but I never talk about finance IRL since most people are NPC/illiterates, science, /out/, and stuff...

>>15425565
People read ya know. Dont need media to relate to things. Pick a topic and start reading from library.

Want to learn health? Get a sports nutrition book and talk to gym thots. Easy connection

>started at university like everyone else
>one week into school
>some acquaintances ig, no friends
This sucks i wanna drop out now

>>15425445
FORD.

Family
Occupation
Recreation
Dreams

Topics that'll make people go on and on and on. To build rapport and make geniune friends. Find this four things out, listen, and REMEMBER.

You can be the most boring person in the world, but be a great listener and everyone will love you. Do not be a bitch though. Acting weak and saying weak things = disliked by everyone.

Oh and always remember, if you come across someone you don't like, its because they are unironically the same as you. We tend to hate people who have the qualities we most hate in ourselves.

>>15425573
ah I miss these days. the first few months as a freshman are something special.

>being out on your own for the first time
>meeting a lot of new people from many other cities, states, and even countries
>all girls are super horny
>parties are fun
>getting a job on campus and meeting even more people from other colleges at the university

only downside was having to actually go to some classes because a few professors used attendance as a % of your grade. mostly great memories though

>>15425264
Education is about career/money, not prolonging childhood.

>>15425623
so if i complain and have a negative but truthful outlook on most things you mean people automatically hate me for it? No wonder
Fuck am i suppose to do, just pretend to be a bubbly fag and act like everything is good?

>>15425663
>tfw just started uni and have no friends and hate it
I wish i was normal you're so lucky bro

>>15425774
key word being you just started. it takes rime for some anons to bloom when they get into university. you'll make it anon. just make sure you use the free gym you'll have for the next 4 years

>>15425578
Which major did you pick

>>15425623
Based, I have realized that getting people to talk about their future occupation/dreams/recreation is the way to get people to talk to me.I never talk about family though because I honestly don't have one so I'd be unable to relate.

>>15425827
I picked Biochemistry. A lot of people say it's a bad choice, but at least I'm always going to employable because I learned important lab skills.Only reason I was able to get my undergrad research position was because I know what I'm doing and was able to communicate my knowledge in the professors specific area of research using my past research projects at my cc as a reference point.

>>15425678
>tfw chads and stacies in frats/sororities always talking about parties while you're some miserable incel tucked away in a lab with no social interaction.

I reached out to a fencing club to see if I could join because it sounds like a fun/active thing to do.

>>15425623
>if you come across someone you don't like, its because they are unironically the same as you. We tend to hate people who have the qualities we most hate in ourselves.
Source? Is this true? I hate 90% of people i meet so this is interesting to me.
I think about it and it doesn't make sense though, for example loud people really annoy me and I am very quiet.

>>15426038
>tfw hate chads and stacies
>tfw i'm a chad and a stacy

>fell for the private 4 year university right out of highschool meme
>80k in debt

you will thank yourself in 2 years anon

>>15426053
Did you have sex though?

You losers wouldnt have friends if you went straight to uni either

>>15426109
Don't say that anon...I want to believe it would've been easier.

>>15425264
>>15426107
>21k in debt
>fraternity president
>fucked sloots and found the love of my life

it was totally worth it but the debt still sucks, tradeoffs are everything OP maybe you'll make more money and find your waifu after school?

>>15425264
It gets easier the further you get into your program. You'll recognize familiar faces from your other classes and realize you wouldn't have wanted to be more than acquaintances in passing anyways.

Are you lame and socially inept?

>>15426107

yes but i'd trade it all away for no debt

>>15426143
I'm on 4chan sir.

>>15426136
Further into the program I will be graduated.

Also
>DUDE NO DEBT LOL
My parents paid for my schooling but I don't understand how you guys are getting out with no debt whatsoever. I just started grad school @ $6.2k/semester and getting ready to dish out $400 on parking tomorrow.
>>15426161
Like I said, they wouldn't have made great friends anyways and you'll come to realize that.

>>15426179
Good point anon, I have to think long term I'm going to part ways with these people after graduation anyway...I will focus on my research/career/studies/making money.

I transfer next semester to a university, not expecting much out of it

>>15426219
It's better in that you're not surrounded by burnouts and boomer retards thinking it's not too late to start fresh, but you're right to have no expectations.

>>15426219
The nice thing is that girls are way hotter at universities than CCs. Downside is that they're way hotter than girls at CCs and there are a million chads running around.

>be a douche to everyone
>why can't I make friends

This was me. I was a loner my whole 2 years of University after transferring from CC. This was more than ten years ago and I think that was the turning point of my life for the worse. Part of it though was because i commuted from home so never really made any friends. I was always in a rush to get home after class and repeat day after day. I would encourage you anons to live close to the university at least. I really really regret my entire college experience...socially speaking. Good luck anons. Don't be like me, try get yourself out there and do shit.
