Do introverted students need to join clubs to make friends?
Introverted students do not necessarily need to join a club to make friends. However, clubs can provide opportunities to meet people with shared interests regularly. If large groups feel uncomfortable, consider a small group or an organization with less frequent activities. Classes, seminars, campus events, and part-time jobs can also provide opportunities to connect, so look for a setting you can continue comfortably.
Key points
- Activities that interest you can make it easier to start conversations.
- Attend an observation session or trial activity to check the atmosphere and activity schedule.
- A small group where you can meet people regularly is also an option.
Things to check
- The size, activity frequency, and atmosphere vary by organization, so check official university information and each organization’s guidance.
