The Secret to Making Friends in College: 30-minute video series to help students build real friendships and reduce loneliness

College is often thought of as the place where lifelong friendships are made. But the reality is different: nearly half of students report feeling lonely, despite being surrounded by peers. You’ve probably seen how this affects their sense of belonging, mental health, and retention.

The challenge? Most students have never been taught how to make friends. We assume friendships will just “happen,” but making real connection is a skill set—one that can be learned and developed with the right instruction.

This 30-minute mini-course gives students practical, evidence-based strategies they can use immediately.

Students will learn how to:

• Challenge common myths about making friends that hold them back.

• Apply the three key ingredients of the “friendship formula” to build connections more easily.

• Recognize the kinds of campus activities most—and least—likely to foster friendships.

The content is concise (no fluff), evidence-based, and designed for busy student schedules.
