How do I make good friends with other engineering majors
My name is Theo, and I'm going into my freshman year at Cal Poly soon. I'm going into college with almost all of my general education done. So I'll be going into my major courses straight away in college. I know that engineers are less social than your average person, myself included. I was just wondering how I can make friends with them, because I'm a little nervous as to how to do so. Do I just walk up to whoever sits next to me in class? What if they turn out not to be a good person? I'd also like to make friends with other majors, but I'm going to be around engineering majors most of the time, so I'm not sure.

What are the pros/cons of living at school vs. commuting. #campuslife #trafficjam
I want to live at School, my pocketbook says I have to commute. I live 45 minutes from campus on a no traffic, best case scenario commute. I am concerned about the time, stress and safety of this twice daily commute and will talk to my advisor about maximizing classes on certain days so as not having to travel everyday. I will also see if there are some online classes in my curriculum I can take. I am concerned I will be missing out on an important part of my college experience by not living on campus. I really don't want to incur a huge debt, but I don't qualify for any Grants or free money. It's so difficult to determine what's best for me now vs. what's best in the long run. #campuslife #trafficjam #personal-finance
