How can I make friends at a new school?

Just be friendly and open. Talk to as many people as you can and don't worry about whether you want them to be your lifelong friends or not. You can worry about that later. The more people you know, the easier the whole transition will be. Add everyone to your Facebook and talk with them on Video Chat Rounds (http://www.rounds.com/facebook-video-chat/ ) when you see them online after school -- that's a really good way to build a friendship outside of class. Go to everything people invite you to (club meeting, lunch). Ask the people you like to hang out after school, linger on campus if people are sitting and talking.
