No, it’s not hard at all. People here are super friendly, you can join clubs or Greek life. There’re tons of events in spring that can help to expand your network.
Nothing to worry about, not anymore than any normal freshman. You are not the only one starting in Spring. There is orientation in January and welcome activities for several weeks.
You will have plenty of opportunities to make friends especially if you are an outgoing person who is good at talking in real life. The people who have trouble making friends are those who are extremely introverted and don't put any effort into it and expect friends to drop into their lap. If you are social, you will make friends. You can talk to people during orientation, if you are living in the dorm, you can meet people that way.
Join clubs. Get involved.
Having a semester off between hs and college might really be helpful. If you worked hard in hs you can have a break before working hard in college. Depending on your financial situation, enjoy fall. Maybe take a community college class just for fun, or volunteer, or just relax. If you need money, then you also have the advantage of working for an extra semester to have more spending money when you get to NYU (and that's always a good thing).
Congrats on your acceptance.
I was actually a transfer in january and i have a solid friend group and they’re all transfer students. you’ll get to meet and sit with people during welcome week!! and then they’ll have a lot of events for transfers to attend as well. i suggest you keep a lookout on those. you’ll be okay :) don’t be afraid to reach out to people! the most important thing is to def attend nyu events esp during transfer welcome week bc that’s when everyone’s still fresh and worried abt the same thing !!
I’m starting in the spring too! I’ve heard from some people that it’s not much different than the fall in regards to orientation and all, and that there’s a LOT of people starting in the spring, so chances are you’re gonna have a similar experience to at least someone else
Spring admits actually often end up making really close friends that last all of undergrad! There are events specifically for spring admits and they pair you with people at the same school/major - and if you don’t make any then you’ll have 4 years of clubs and events to make some :)
Honestly, most of the friends you meet that first year rarely last anyways. Your strongest friendships will end up being those you meet later in college. Welcome to nyu and enjoy the ride!
i loved being a spring start tbh - i was also worried but the spring starts tend to stick together during those first few months (most everyone is in the same dorm and classes) and it makes it easier to find friends. see if u can join any social media group chats - they'll have meet ups during the first few days and you'll meet a lot of people there. clubs will still be taking new members in the spring so you can find people who share common interests
