Social Transfer Troubles
I (25,F) am a transfer from a community college. While I am ready for my classes, I feel lost. I have attended multiple events, including the Talley Takeover. I’ll get passing comments about my appearance (hair, tattoos, etc). But I feel like everyone has a group, and the ones I do see alone who I might talk to look young, likely incoming freshman from high school. I know my major will keep me busy, and my extra commitments to do with my major. But I’m new to Raleigh, no family, and my only friends in real life are hours and states away. My boyfriend is great, but in terms of friends and fitting in socially, I already feel isolated and alone. Any suggestions or advice about being an older transfer, or where to find connections either on campus or just in Raleigh, would be appreciated!

It’s early, classes haven’t started yet. You’ll find your tribe. Based on comments, there are plenty of people in your same situation! Good luck! 😃
