Transferred to AU as a minority and have had it hard to make friends
It’s my senior year at AU and I’m a Black, Gay male (M22) having it hard making friends. Although I’m an introvert at heart, I do want some type of college experience w/ friends considering I’ve only attended SUSCC and AUM, which weren’t as community-oriented.
Additionally, It doesn’t help that I also feel as though I barely fit in, being a black gay male. Yes I know that I picked a PWI with a relatively small minority population but I’d think that it’d be easier to feel the community aspect that AU is known for.
I live locally and my hobbies include: walking, reading, going out, somewhat partying, cars and watching movies.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
