What should I do if I feel lonely after moving away from Texas A&M?

Quick answer

Do not retreat entirely into work and the apartment. Grant recommends giving yourself a structured first-month social plan: attend local Aggie events, try apartment resident activities, join a recurring fitness or volunteer activity, connect with church or another community if important to you, and keep showing up to the ones that fit. If loneliness becomes persistent or overwhelming, reaching out to trusted people or a mental-health professional can also be a smart step.
