My way of meeting new people in college

You always hear on the internet the cliche way to meet new people in college.  Join clubs.  Well, what if you don't have any decent clubs.  I think it is best to do this, especially you are in a small school.

It depends on how diverse the college is.  If there are a lot of sociological and family backgrounds, the college will be more socially stratified.  We had seen too many weird people and if you are normal, you are a minority.  But now we are seeing more psychologically and sociologically less deviant people; we are going back to the old days.

There is a lot of segregation and you are bringing it on yourself, and where you fit in in college depends on mainly your beliefs and your interest, your socioeconomic class, family life, there are a lot of things.  For example, a gangsta is someone who is in the lower class that is probably colored that is involved with the street life, the thug life.  A jock is usually someone involved in a sport and is really passionate about it.


So the best thing is try to find people that are in the same boat with you and are similar interests to you, and probably look like you too.  It looks like once you get your major or path determined, you hang out with the people that are taking the same classes as you.  Business students are usually with business students and nursing students seem to hang around.  But when you are undecided with your degree, try to stick with someone who is in the same socioeconomic class and probably looks similar to you, and have the same interest as you.  Lets say you like football - you can hang out with people that like football.  Lets say you like music - hang out with people who like music.

Lets look at me - I am an A.A degree student and I tend to lean towards the conservative side.  I like to go to church and I tend to go along with the more traditional, moral values.  I am middle class and I live in a small town.  I love music - but I think I am being a phony in some of my music taste.  I do like R&B and hip-hop, but I am white and I am a little more classier than the people that are gangsta.  I should try to find people that look more conservative and if I have a defined hobby, I can find a bunch of people that share the same hobby such as music.  I am not in sports but I appreciate sports so I should find people that like sports - I should wear a Vikings or Twins shirt or something like that.
