Going into a new college advice please

Captain Hman

Hey I've applied for advanced entry into 2nd year of a course in a college closer to home, it's a similar degree to the one I'm currently doing.
Anyways I'm looking for some advice regarding how to settle in at a new college. In first year it was a lot easier for me because it was everyone's first year and no one knew anyone. now I'm worried that it will be harder to make friends because everyone else will have settled in. I plan on moving into student accommodation cause I think might be easier to help me settle in to a new college. any advice anyone would have would be great thanks

Shave your head and superglue the hair to your face.

A good talking point and ice breaker.

Class parties, I knew all the fun people from my class through class parties, not through actual class.

Ingredients
225g/8oz self raising flour
pinch of salt
55g/2oz butter
25g/1oz caster sugar
150ml/5fl oz milk
1 free-range egg, beaten, to glaze (alternatively use a little milk)
Preparation method
Heat the oven to 220C/425F/Gas 7. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
Mix together the flour and salt and rub in the butter.
Stir in the sugar and then the milk to get a soft dough.
Turn on to a floured work surface and knead very lightly. Pat out to a round 2cm/¾in thick. Use a 5cm/2in cutter to stamp out rounds and place on a baking sheet. Lightly knead together the rest of the dough and stamp out more scones to use it all up.
Brush the tops of the scones with the beaten egg. Bake for 12-15 minutes until well risen and golden.

Cool on a wire rack and serve with butter and good jam and maybe some clotted cream.

Class parties is a good idea but I'm not sure the new kid would get invited :L aka Gus Griswold

Just ignore everyone and scowl constantly. You'll be the class oddball, sure, but it's easier in the long run.

Sit on your own the first week. Introduce yourself to the person left and right of you and in front and behind

I did this for the first week of college and knew half the campus when i left.

Still have mates for life from it

Any years I had to repeat, the class party at start of year was best way to get to know who's who, also live in student accomodation, and maybe ride someone in a different class and be all multi cultural and stuff.
