Advice:
Introduce yourself; don’t wait for other people to approach you.
Visit your floormates in their room and introduce yourself.
Keep your door open (when you are in your room) for the first couple weeks.
Always speak to people in the hallways.
Attend campus events and meet people outside your dorm.
Smile a lot—as stupid as it sounds, people do avoid scowlers.
Join a club, team, or other organization.
