Can't relate to this. My granddaughter started college in '22 and made friends right away. She has a group that she hangs out with, and that group is growing. They have taken vacations together and they have visited her here (several states away).

This year she is attending college (one semester) in Europe and once again made friends immediately. I get concerned because she calls all these new meets 'friends'...can one have friends so quickly?

So, I guess it's not the same for everyone. She has friends at home. Friends at college and friends in Europe. I just hope it keeps up for the rest of her life.
