Making New Mates at College

I posted it here, because more people will get to see it. But is it hard making new mates at college? I've got two choices, I can go to a college with all my mates, or find a better college and make a load of new mates. I'm just worried incase I go, and noone talks to me or likes me. Bare in mind I worry too much, but if you could share your own experiences of starting a fresh college then please do.

oh my.. i went into my college knowing no one at all.. now? i got tons of em.. even if youre not the one who approaches people, its natural that you develop friendship with other people. Remember that when you enter the college... there are loads of other people who dont have any friends around too

i honestly wudnt worry bout making friends, therell be loads of people who are without friends and ull get to know people in ur classes, try to join a club or sport too so that u get to know more people that way. i wud always chose the better college over mates becos friends change and u might find u have more in common with ur new mates at college. Plus its ur future not theirs so go for the better college, if ur mates mean alot and r gud mates theyll stand by ur decision and make the effort to stay in touch. xx

Definitely go to the college you want. You'll end up having to make new friends at some stage, whether it's college, uni or work, the sooner you do it the better, and don't give up if you don't click with people immediately, just give it time :smile:

I went to a new college when I finished year 11 - to another school's sixth form no less. This was hard in one way because everyone had already made their cliques, but within a few weeks I got to know a few guys, and have made the best friends of my life.
You will probably be able to make friends, so don't worry about it too much

Please go the better college- I have met so many cool people, way more than in my old town. And I love it!

I have met friends in and out of college; I was nervous too, but once I relaxed about 1000%, everything fell into place.

Good luck :smile:
