Emerging studies suggest students who make friends and form relationships in college are more likely to be academically successful and to ultimately graduate. You might wonder why, but the answer seems very clear.
Humans are social creatures and when you have individuals who can empathize with you, encourage you, and blow off steam with you, you will be better prepared to face the challenge of higher education.
In some instances, you will also be asked how well you work with a team, how you collaborate with others, as well as how you get along with managers and supervisors. What does all of this have to do with friendships?
Learning to get along with people and work well with them takes many forms, and one of them is friendship. In a sense, your friends help mold who you are and help you interact with people all around you.
