Yep just as the title says; it is not hard to socialize in college. It’s actually really easy to socialize in college, go to student areas where socializing is, and simply have a good time.
I don’t know where most of this whole fear of public rejection came from but it’s college, you’re not gonna get made fun of in college. If you do you can easily tell someone to go fuck themselves.
At the very least, you can deal with randos in the plaza of whatever college you are at. You don’t even have to talk about anything super niche, just talk about what’s happening in school or whatever local baseball or sport it is.
Ah wait, you have to actually take note of what’s happening around the college town you’re in, so you’re gonna have to maybe look around or read the school newspaper.
You’re in college. On campus, you can at least try to be socialize or else you’re gonna be those anti social morons at your future job who ignores you when you try to be nice to them.

I don’t think people understand what this community is for. It’s not /c/myopinion…
its easy if you go to college to socialize but less so if you go to college to study.
It is when you’re nearly 50, have no monies, and are trying to pick up freshmen.
Is this unpopular? I thought the common wisdom was the older you get the harder it is to socialize.
I guess this could mean college is hard if you’re in middle or high school, but I think most lemmings are well beyond that? I could be wrong.
Anyway college seems like a prime socializing environment to me (as a forty-something).
I am older. It’s not hard to socialize at all. What’s missing are two key ingredients: i) you have to meet a lot of people to make a good friend. In school there were probably hundreds of children around your age at your school, at the playground, on your sports teams etc. You wound up being good friends with 4 or 5? Apply that to your adult life and you probably don’t have the same volume of connections, so the friend making process is slower.
ii) You need to spend big chunks of time with them, some of it unstructured. Again school and university is set up like this. Adult life is generally not. If you have kids in sports that’s probably the closest thing you can get to replicating the grade school situation. But see i. You’ll wind up not vibing with most of the parents you hang out with.
I dunno, #1 gets kinda weird when you ask someone if they want to come over to your house and play when you’re both 20+. Seems to go really bad, or really good. Although we never even got my Matchbox collection out… I think they might just be using me 🤔
Well according to the new generation of freshmen that they can’t cause 50% of the population fiance bros and fucking frat bros lmao
