However, for the same reasons, college can be a very difficult and isolating time for others. While I can\u2019t tell you exactly how to find and make friends, or guarantee that this will get you socialized, I can at the very least offer some tips on increasing your chances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Go to ISS \u2018meet &amp; greets\u2019 and other events, to meet fellow students.\u00a0 Socializing is important and will greatly improve your Purdue experience.\u00a0\u00a0 Your faculty will usually offer some monthly event and check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/newsroom\/purduetoday\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Purdue Today<\/a> for events held around campus.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>u\/nuck_forte_dame on the Purdue sub-reddit says- <\/em>&#8220;Start out by accepting every invitation you get and go. People tend to like and invite people who aren&#8217;t flaky. Too many &#8220;I can&#8217;t make it&#8221; excuses and eventually they&#8217;ll stop inviting you. Also accept the invitation regardless of if you like them or not, and also invite them if you like them or not. This is how networking works- you will get to meet new people via these people. You may also get to like someone after an initial personality clash. You want to maximize exposure to new people. Cast a wide net. When you invite make sure to tell people they are encouraged to bring more people with them. Basically grow the network. Meet tons of people through people. Then once your circle is really big, you pick the people you really mesh well with and focus on them. Invite them alone to some things and basically build a core group. Typically freshmen year you&#8217;ve got lots of friends and big networks but those networks will begin to split up into multiple core groups as people figure out who they get along with best.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Join clubs<\/strong>&#8211; At BGR, there will be a huge fair with hundreds of stalls of different clubs, recruiting like-minded new members. Get involved, and attend a few call-outs. A callout is usually an informational or introductory meeting sponsored by a student club or organization to gain new members. If you are interested in joining a particular interest group, club, or organization attending a callout is a great way to get information. If you like what you see in the first callout, continue with the club as they hold various activities throughout the year.  <a href=\"https:\/\/boilerlink.purdue.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Boilerlink<\/a> provides information on various student organizations and events on campus.\u00a0 You can search for specific ethnic\/cultural organizations, or by graduate and professional student organizations, or by specific athletic or hobby interest, or in many other ways, to find what you interest you and give you the opportunity to make connections. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/sao\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SAO<\/a> (Student Activities and Organizations) provides information on various organizations and events happening around campus and there\u2019s even an app you can add to your phone so you can easily find out what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p style=\"font-size:clamp(0.984rem, 0.984rem + ((1vw - 0.2rem) * 0.86), 1.5rem);\">Join more clubs at first than you think you can handle. You can always drop out later if you have time constraints. This way, you have a choice of clubs to which to commit to for the year, rather than joining only one or two and then forcing yourself to continue even if you don&#8217;t particularly like them. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the most common advice given to make friends, and for good reason. Joining a club that fits your personal interests or professional pursuits is a fantastic way to get to know people and make friends. You\u2019ll (at least usually) see the same people for at least an hour every week, and are guaranteed to have at least one thing in common &#8211; being in the club itself. If the club is more casual, or activity-based, then they may have a lot of \u201cfun\u201d outings and events outside of the normal club meetings. If the organization is more professional or impact-based, then there\u2019s likely to be a committee or group of people you\u2019re working with to accomplish your goals that you\u2019ll get to know well. For more information on clubs, see the Clubs and Student Organizations section of the wiki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, we can\u2019t forget what the true focus of college really is &#8211; academics. In your major classes, you\u2019re likely to have at least one thing in common (your major). In electives, you may find others with common interests. In other required courses, well, you\u2019re going through that suffering together. As much as lab assignments and group projects can be hell, they can also be a great chance to make some friends in your major or with others who share similar academic interests. Talk or get together for lunch, with students in your lab, class, LC etc as their advice and guidance is precious and will save you a lot of time in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As freshmen who live in dorms with not only room-mates but also hundreds of other students on your floor and in your dorm, it is a great opportunity to meet people you can get along with. My best advice would be to always leave your dorm door open (especially during the first few weeks of college\/the semester), and to attend dorm events and floor activities, no matter how tacky or corny they may sound. Being part of a Learning Community also helps, as you will be taking courses and often staying in the same residences, so take advantage and form new friendships this way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can be helpful to take advantage of \u201cearly\u201d times. For example, \u201cearly\u201d in your time at Purdue, most students go through BGR &#8211; <em>everyone<\/em> is looking to make friends during BGR and during their first few weeks in college. Similarly, \u201cearly\u201d in the semester is a great time to meet new people in classes and join new clubs. While it\u2019s absolutely possible and common to develop meaningful friendships later in your time at college or later in the semester, leveraging \u201cearly\u201d opportunities can be helpful if you\u2019re struggling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also join the team sport programs at Purdue- Here are the current <a href=\"https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/recwell\/sports-and-programs\/club-sports\/index.php\">club team sports options<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The various churches, mosques, temple and other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homeofpurdue.com\/plan\/our-community\/religion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">religious centers<\/a> will offer events during Welcome week and throughout the year.\u00a0 Check around what is offered on campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Purdue has several <a href=\"https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/gradschool\/diversity\/get-involved\/cultural-centers-networks-resources.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cultural centers <\/a>that you should check out as they are open to everyone, not just members of that specific culture.\u00a0 They host a variety of activities and events throughout the year and offer a great place to learn new things and meet new people.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/wiep\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Women in Engineering<\/a> programming is open to all races, genders, and backgrounds, and host interesting events throughout the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously fraternities, sororities, and co-ops aren\u2019t for everyone. However, if you think this might be your thing, then it\u2019s always worth exploring. Joining a house of many students who share your similar experiences, and who you typically live with, is a great way to make friends (even if some people say you\u2019re \u201cpaying for them\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a final word, I just want to reiterate the point I made above &#8211; it can be really hard to make friends in college, even if you\u2019re doing everything right. You\u2019re not alone in this and it\u2019s not an uncommon experience. Even if you go through all of college without making any new friends, that doesn\u2019t mean that you\u2019re unable to make them &#8211; it just means you haven\u2019t yet found your people. If you\u2019re struggling socially, be sure to take care of your mental health, including seeking professional help if needed.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion\" style=\"border-color: #f1f1f1; \" id=\"ub-content-toggle-panel-block-6979a536-2684-4fb5-a2da-07ba20d6b64c\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-title-wrap\" style=\"background-color: #f1f1f1;\" aria-controls=\"ub-content-toggle-panel-2-7a62a1a3-4e87-4d64-ba23-b4f6aa6e75aa\" tabindex=\"0\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-title ub-content-toggle-title-7a62a1a3-4e87-4d64-ba23-b4f6aa6e75aa\" style=\"color: #000000; \"><strong>GRIT\u2122<\/strong> <\/p>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-toggle-wrap right\" style=\"color: #000000;\"><span class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-state-indicator wp-block-ub-chevron-down\"><\/span><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-expanded=\"false\" class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-content-wrap ub-hide\" id=\"ub-content-toggle-panel-2-7a62a1a3-4e87-4d64-ba23-b4f6aa6e75aa\">\n\n<p>GRIT\u2122 is probably the <strong>most<\/strong> memed school spirit there is. Chances are, as soon as you start complaining about stress or grades or classes sucking, someone sooner or later, will refer to Grit!&#8230;. although Purdue Grit has allegedly existed since decades, it got real attention when Purdue University President Mitch Daniels made these remarks during the May 2019 spring graduation (commencement) ceremonies<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;For the last few years, the air has been filled with studies, surveys, and books reporting a growing \u201cfragility\u201d among American young people, a decreasing capability to handle even modest stress or setbacks without seeking some sort of adult assistance&#8230;It seems just yesterday when, working in the business that brought the world the first highly safe and effective antidepressant, I took part in a huge worldwide effort to destigmatize depression, schizophrenia, and related illnesses. We must and will do all we can&#8230;At other places, but I\u2019m happy to say not yet at Purdue, students have demanded to be kept \u201csafe\u201d from speech, that is, mere words, that challenge or discomfit them&#8230;.Referring to such young people, someone has coined the distasteful but descriptive term \u201csnowflakes.\u201d&#8230;I don\u2019t pretend to know what\u2019s causing the phenomenon. I do know that in the world you\u2019re about to enter, emotional strength, in the form people are now terming \u201cresilience\u201d or \u201cgrit,\u201d will be essential for you to realize the enormous potential we see in you&#8230;I\u2019m tempted to call Roget\u2019s Thesaurus and let them know the antonym of \u201csnowflake\u201d is \u201cBoilermaker.\u201d Just as physical strength is built through hard exercise, emotional fortitude is enhanced by adversity and conflict. Every great achievement requires a confrontation with stress, a conquest of fear. Our engineers know, there is no traction without friction&#8230;.Don\u2019t misunderstand this, but I wish for you many such tough moments. You can easily avoid them; just lead a safely inconsequential life: run no risks, confront no injustice, accept no roles of leadership. But that\u2019s not the path we expect you to choose&#8230;..You showed the quality of grit before you arrived here. That\u2019s why we admitted you. I hope that your days here, with a faculty that pushed and stretched you&#8230;built your reserves of resilience. Now take the strength you brought here, and the new strength I trust you built here, into a world where the need and, therefore, the opportunities, for real leadership are enormous. Seek out the hard jobs and the toughest problems.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ever since then, persevering through the suck of heavy STEM classes has become the dark humour and the steam power that drives Boilermakers!<br><br>(PS there is no trademark, its just another meme!)<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion\" style=\"border-color: #f1f1f1; \" id=\"ub-content-toggle-panel-block-cb611062-37cd-4d1c-8307-60559504e05c\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-title-wrap\" style=\"background-color: #f1f1f1;\" aria-controls=\"ub-content-toggle-panel-3-7a62a1a3-4e87-4d64-ba23-b4f6aa6e75aa\" tabindex=\"0\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-title ub-content-toggle-title-7a62a1a3-4e87-4d64-ba23-b4f6aa6e75aa\" style=\"color: #000000; \"><strong>Sports, Leisure, Entertainment &amp; Festivals<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-toggle-wrap right\" style=\"color: #000000;\"><span class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-state-indicator wp-block-ub-chevron-down\"><\/span><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-expanded=\"false\" class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-content-wrap ub-hide\" id=\"ub-content-toggle-panel-3-7a62a1a3-4e87-4d64-ba23-b4f6aa6e75aa\">\n\n<p>Purdue University offers students an array of activities and entertainment options.

Most complain about Purdue not having a social life because all they do is go to class and sit in their dorms. If you want to get out and meet people and mingle there are more than enough opportunities. While parties are not a huge presence on campus, like they reportedly are at UIUC, there are parties &amp; events going on around campus every weekend, put on by different organizations. Sure, campuses that are surrounded by bustling cities are going to have a higher quantity and larger diversity of events, but by no means is Purdue &#8220;dead&#8221; at night; it&#8217;s still a Big10 school after all, and knows how to let its hair down. While it might take some time to &#8220;find your people&#8221; once you arrive on campus, rest assured that there&#8217;s a place for every Boilermaker, and if you&#8217;re willing to put yourself out there, you&#8217;ll find what you&#8217;re looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Purdue socially has something for everyone. If you want to go out and party, there is always a party going on, if you want just be left alone and work no one will judge you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can read <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Purdue\/comments\/w259k1\/a_comprehensive_review_of_purdues_socialparty\/?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=android_app&amp;utm_name=androidcss&amp;utm_term=3&amp;utm_content=share_button\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">further on this post<\/a> on Purdue&#8217;s social scene.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion\" style=\"border-color: #f1f1f1; \" id=\"ub-content-toggle-panel-block-edef40da-164f-4ea4-a13b-e31e40842832\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-title-wrap\" style=\"background-color: #f1f1f1;\" aria-controls=\"ub-content-toggle-panel-5-7a62a1a3-4e87-4d64-ba23-b4f6aa6e75aa\" tabindex=\"0\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-title ub-content-toggle-title-7a62a1a3-4e87-4d64-ba23-b4f6aa6e75aa\" style=\"color: #000000; \"><strong>Alcohol, Drugs &amp; Stalking<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-toggle-wrap right\" style=\"color: #000000;\"><span class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-state-indicator wp-block-ub-chevron-down\"><\/span><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-expanded=\"false\" class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-content-wrap ub-hide\" id=\"ub-content-toggle-panel-5-7a62a1a3-4e87-4d64-ba23-b4f6aa6e75aa\">\n\n<p>So along with the fun things, I have to mention this- being an International student, you have to be much more careful in the US in order not to jeopardise your status as a F-1 student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drinking age is 21.\u00a0It is not just illegal to drink when you&#8217;re under 21, it is also illegal to possess alcohol (e.g. keep it in your room, hold it for someone), to transport alcohol (e.g. drive it in your car, even if someone else in the car is 21), or to attempt to purchase alcohol. Purdue Housing takes this very very seriously- <strong>do NOT keep or consume<\/strong> any alcohol inside the dorms!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of your classmates younger than 21 may be using fake ID&#8217;s, to get into bars and clubs.\u00a0You should <strong>not use fake ID&#8217;<\/strong>s.\u00a0 That is a criminal offence. By the same token, do not use other people&#8217;s ID&#8217;s or social security numbers for any reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you are of age and can legally consume alcohol, you must remember that public intoxication and drunk driving are criminal offences in all states. If you decide to drink, drink in moderation. Also remember that in many places it is a criminal offence to carry an open container (like an open beer bottle) inside the passenger compartment of the car you are driving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are pulled over by the police and charged with a driving while under the influence of alcohol (<strong>DUI<\/strong>), your visa will likely be <strong>revoked<\/strong> immediately by the U.S. State Department. If your visa is revoked, you will not be able to leave the country and come back in without getting a new visa from your home country. You will also have to go through a lengthy criminal process and face fines in excess of $2500.<br><br>There are minimum age requirements for buying alcohol or cigarettes. If you meet the age requirement, do not buy alcohol or cigarette for your younger friends and do not lend your ID&#8217;s to anybody for this purpose (or for any other purpose). Any \u201cfriend\u201d who asks you to do that is not your friend. That is again a criminal offence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Using drugs is a crime<\/strong> under federal and Indiana state laws. Federal regulations continue to forbid cannabis possession and its transportation across state borders. Nonetheless, 24 states across the country, including three of Indiana\u2019s neighbouring states Ohio, Michigan, and Illinois, have relaxed their stance and legalized cannabis. Illinois is a mere hour&#8217;s drive away- but don&#8217;t make the mistake of being tempted to bring some over. While it may legal to use marijuana in these states it is <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indyjustice.com\/blog\/criminal-defense\/cannabis-laws-indiana\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">illegal to use or possess marijuana <\/a>in Indiana<\/strong>. If you are charged and convicted of possessing or smoking marijuana, your visa is likely to be revoked and you would need to reapply for a new visa, which could take up to six months to accomplish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Purdue is required by regulation to report, within 21 days, \u201cany disciplinary action taken by the school against the student as a result of the student being convicted of a crime.\u201d This reporting action by itself does not automatically result in a termination of status. However, the information will be available to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, who will determine whether additional action is warranted. Additionally, if the disciplinary action is suspension or expulsion, this may result in a loss of status for not maintaining full-time enrolment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stalking or harassing others, threatening behaviour and causing bodily harm are all other forms of unlawful activities that may affect your status and stay in the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For any criminal offence, aside from facing criminal penalties, you run the risk of losing your F-1 visa and may also be deported. So don&#8217;t be stupid!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion\" style=\"border-color: #f1f1f1; \" id=\"ub-content-toggle-panel-block-a1043fc0-fa35-423e-a4f1-f86eaae0e35e\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-title-wrap\" style=\"background-color: #f1f1f1;\" aria-controls=\"ub-content-toggle-panel-6-7a62a1a3-4e87-4d64-ba23-b4f6aa6e75aa\" tabindex=\"0\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-title ub-content-toggle-title-7a62a1a3-4e87-4d64-ba23-b4f6aa6e75aa\" style=\"color: #000000;
