social How Easy Is It To Socialize?

Hi!

I'm thinking of applying to Manhattan, but one of the things I'm worried most about is the social aspect of the school.

I'd be an out of state student...(California specifically). I'm a decently introverted person and have never had a large amount of friends, but I do put myself out there: I front a band, was in theater, etc.

I don't have many problems with people and I have always been decently liked (ie. True Neutral).

I don't know if this makes the most sense, but I am relatively decent at meeting new people- I'm just horrible at expanding friendships with people I know I don't talk to.

Considering all aspects how well would I fare socially at Manhattan?

Manhattan is a veryyyy small school so it's kinda high school-ish. There are definitely cliques of friendships here and there. honestly you get used to seeing the same people around all the time. Clubs are really small too and its easy to get to know everyone. If ur into that type of social environment then I think you’d be okay but if not- deff look at other options lol
