[QUOTE="emergent, post: 1040436, member: 8929"] I gamed a lot my freshman year, then did not game again for three years. I just got involved with other things and it became harder for me to find people to game with as well as time in my own schedule. I went to a small school, so finding people was tough. Most of the group I gamed with my freshman year transfered. If you are going to a decent sized university, chances are there is some sort of organized club or group to join -- maybe a gamers club, or maybe just a sci-fi/fantasy book group. If there is no game organization, look for other "geeky" clubs that may attract gamers. Or even the ROTC kids -- I played with two ROTC guys my freshman year and both were pretty cool. Such clubs often have web pages or are at least listed in the clubs and organizations section of the university's web site. Start there. Money is always an issue, you just have to do what (most of us) still do -- budget and prioritize. You may have to decide between that case of beer and the newest rpg book. Remember, books do not make you fat. When you find a group, you can always borrow and trade. Budgeting time is one of the hardest things about college, imho. Again, it's mostly a matter of priorities. If gaming is your primary social priority, you can find time for it. If other things become more important (and that's okay if they do) then you may not end up gaming as much. Good luck! Where are you going to school? [/QUOTE]
