While you are in college you will encounter a ton of life-changing experiences. While most prefer to endure those experiences independently, there are others who would like to have a "someone" along for the ride. But in all honestly the hardest part is knowing where to look to meet this person. If you are actively searching for a boyfriend or girlfriend, continue reading below to learn how to narrow your search.

The very first thing you can do is attend freshman orientation during the summer. During orientation your college will host a variety of events to get you familiarized with the campus and will mandate that you take some "welcoming" courses. This is the perfect time to socialize and interact with people in a innocent and approachable way. This is because you will be surrounded with people who are just like you: green and filled with questions. So make some new friends by approaching them with small talk or asking a few questions. If you happen to click and connect with someone then exchange phone numbers, emails or add each other on a social networking site. If it turns out that it is nothing more than friendship then that’s still great—you’ll want to have at least one friend when you start school.

Another great way to meet someone is to live in a dorm or apartment complex and get to know your neighbors. Asking for that cup of sugar might lead to you meeting someone great. It’s also important to participate in events such as dorm dances, apartment BBQs or swimming parties. Whatever you do just make sure that you don’t stay cooped up in your all day. As the old expression goes, your future girlfriend or boyfriend won’t come knocking on your door (that is unless they happen to be the maintenance guy or the UPS lady.)

The most ideal and practical place that you can find someone is in join a club or organization. What makes meeting someone in an organization so special is that everyone there shares your similar likes and interests. And unlike during class where you only have a few short minutes before and after the bell to talk with that cute guy or girl you’ve been eyeing, you can talk more comfortably and for longer periods of time with people in club meetings. Not to mention you’ll have more ample opportunities to talk during volunteer work and other club-related events. So you are more likely to meet someone who you will be able to connect with.
