You just moved to a new city, moved into your new Camden apartment community and now you may have the realization that you have no idea how to make new friends as an adult. It seemed so easy in high school and college, right? Here are some tips on how to make friends in your new city.

 

1. Do not be afraid of doing things alone.

  • Doing things by yourself can be scary at times, but this is your chance to move out of your comfort zone. Go for long walks in the park, take yourself to a movie, go to bar and talk to the bartender or take an all-day shopping trip. Do things that you already find fun to do. Who knows, you may just bump into a person looking for a new friend too.

2. Volunteer

  • This is a wonderful way to meet people and help your community. Put your efforts toward something that matters to you. Volunteer at the animal shelter, coach a youth league or help your local soup kitchen. The work will be fulfilling and you are guaranteed to make new friends who are interested in helping their community.

3. Join a club/ social group

  • Nowadays it is easier than ever to make new friends by joining a club or social group. There are helpful websites like Meetup.com, which can help you meet people who are passionate about the same things you are. If you are interested in films, join a film society. If you like reading books, join a book club. This is an excellent way to make friends and do something you love. You can also meet your neighbors on through MyCamden - it is not just to pay your rent online.

 

4. Attend resident events.
