College is a new environment. Lots of people who are all about as clever as each other, away from home for the first time, with no established social networks.



There is a saying that at college, you spend the first week making heaps of friends and the first year unmaking them.



Be yourself, and be prepared to be selective over who you hang out with. People are often desperate to make friends, but you only have limited time to make good on friendships, so try to bond with people you can really communicate with, or learn from. That's good advice for anywhere.



Socialise, and join groups with activities you are good at, or interested in. It's a great way to meet people. When you make a new acquaintance, try to remember a couple of basic things about them, their name, and a couple of things you can ask them about next time you meet. Keep it superficial to start with: :Hi X, good to see you again, how did the boat trip go last week?';



In a group, do your best to be friendly with lots of people in the superficial way outlined above. This will make you seem (and in fact be) popular. People will soon start asking you back, and as the groups bond, you will find yourself on the inside of social circles.



Once you start being accepted, people may well try to engage you in more serious conversations. Try to listen, rather than give advice, when they get personal. Don't gossip about other people from the same group. It might get attention for you in the short term, but it make you lose trust. ';If they gossip about X, they may gossip about me next';.



Make sure you enjoy the time you spend with people, and don't be afraid to let go of people who vamp your time. That way you can spend it with those whose company you enjoy most.What tips can you give me about behavior and conversation in everyday life?
You will be able to act positively if you think positively. Tell yourself that you are a great person, every day, and find reasons why. Tell yourself that everyone would think so, too. Confidence shows, and attracts friends and respect. Just be yourself, but the best version of yourself you can be.
