Why does volunteering work well for an Aggie grad trying to make friends?

Quick answer

Volunteering gives people a shared purpose immediately, which removes some of the awkwardness of meeting strangers. It also tends to create repeat contact when you return to the same organization or project. Grant likes it because it builds community while doing something useful, and it can connect an Aggie grad with people outside the workplace and apartment building.
