University/College : A good place to meet guys?

[Bi_Stud]

To make a long story short.....I have pretty much distanced myself from my current "friends". You know why? I am at a point in my life where I have NO time for thoughtless, unappreciative, selfish, and horrible people who are FAKES. Its time to meet some new people.

So with me going to University in September (I am not living on campus btw...) I am constantly thinking about who I could meet there. First off, I need to slowly build a group of friends compatable with me and who I am. Secondly, why not fool around too?

I know my first priority is to study, get good grades, and enjoy my time there... but obviously that includes meeting new people and having some fun! What do you guys think? I need some straight/gay male, and straight/lesbian friends!

How many of you have met really good friends in University/College that you can even go out with often and just hang out? How many of you have even found love and boyfriends?

Any good tips and how I should go about this? I am not socially-retarded or anything don't get me wrong... but I wanna know.. how did any of you meet some good company?

Holy crap.... ONE MONTH left until its time. IM NERVOUS. ahha.

College is a great time to explore, especially if you go somewhere that's a bit removed from where you grew up and/or where you're going to settle down. It's like a four-year period that's somewhat separated from the rest of your life.

I didn't come out as gay during my college years (until the very end, anyway), but I did start altering my personality into one I felt more comfortable with. I changed my name, I became more outgoing, I became a lot more friendly. And it was easy to do, since I didn't have any "history" dogging me.

Re: University/College : A good place to meet guys

Thanks guys! I will definitely try to use my time over there and have fun! I don't see myself joining too many teams or groups and whatever.. but we'll see!

I really want a new crowd of friends. Im sure we have all been there. Fake highschool bullshit friends suck!

I think college is a good place to meet guys, but not for anything beyond casual.

Depends on the college but generally yes. and you can bet a hundred times better than high school.

Re: University/College : A good place to meet guys

College is much different than high school. Although some people still have that cliquey bullshit in college as they did in high school. I hated that kind of crap. Most people will breakaway from that sort of stuff after their first semester. If not, they will probably join a frat or sort.

As for a good place to meet guys, I would honestly say "it depends". Where the school is, how big your school is and what you are studying. At my school, it is a horrible place to meet guys. Larger schools in general tend to be better place.

Re: University/College : A good place to meet guys

There are few places and times than college where it's easier to meet new people or get laid.

You might want to reconsider living off-campus if possible. I met way more people living in the dorms than anywhere else. If you are living off-campus, I'd recommend getting involved in some sort of group on campus. The obvious one is the LGBT group pretty much every college has these days. The one where I went to grad school at was sort of taken over by a lame clique though, so beware. There are plenty of other political, ethnic, sports and activity-based groups at any college though! For example, I made a lot of friends by working at the college radio station.

wat college are u attending?

 

[ohhhhh]

Re: University/College : A good place to meet guys

Yeahs. Your uni/college must have a gay group that meet up every up every week or something. Unless its a homophobic unis/college in the southern states. BUt anyways , yehs try joining thoses and u'll meet a whole group of people that you have the same interest. When i turn 18 and finish high school finding a new group of friends is one of my priorities !

Re: University/College : A good place to meet guys

Well I am going to a University in Toronto.. and believe me..there are PLENTY of us gays. Its definitely gay-friendly for the most part around where my University is. Not sure if I am going to have time to be part of any groups/clubs/etc. I think I might have time to just go to class and thats pretty much it. Oh...and meet some new people and hang out hopefully.

I just wanna meet some good new friends, and some gays that can come cruise the gay scene with me. I had to kick out all the friends I used to have in my life because they were not good friends at all..and they don't fit my lifestyle. I won't get into detail, but yea. Time for a fresh start.

I need a boyfriend too! haha.

Re: University/College : A good place to meet guys

Well hopefully I do get a chance to meet new friends and fool around too! Im young and I just wanna enjoy it! Not that I won't enjoy it when Im older.. but hopefully you know what I mean. It would be great to have a group to go clubbing with or out for some drinks. It helps..especially when meeting more new people and getting introduced to future boyfriends and stuff.

I know it sounds needy and stuff... but Im sick of being single.

More importantly though, just wanna meet new friends while earning my degree Heck.. maybe one of them will have a place of their own (like a condo or something) with an extra room for me to stay in! I need to move out too! :0 I know Im young so thats very unlikely.. but hey.. why not shoot for the stars? haha.

Re: University/College : A good place to meet guys

College is the perfect place to meet friends, guys and girls. I was just like you. Hated my high school friends, felt fake to me. So I dumped them all and went to college not knowing anyone. Ended up meeting a bunch of people that I call my true friends even 5 years after graduating college. Great places to meet guy friends (not sexual) was orientation, fraternity rush, or dorms.

Re: University/College : A good place to meet guys

I definitely plug the rushing aspect of college. i joined a frat and have never been happier.

Re: University/College : A good place to meet guys

if you're going to a large college they will probably have a GLBT club good to join. but besides that classes are a great place to meet people i remember going to classes for the first few times thinking ... wow people are so much more mature once they step into a college classroom, and it's a nice way to meet people. (compared to HS of course)
