When you live with so few people, a community finds you. In a city, you have to make your community. In DC, there are casual sports leagues, religious or political orgs, community service groups, alumni associations, your future classmates, even certain types of gyms are geared towards groups. Find a hobby you enjoy with people you enjoy and lean into it. Then the city won’t feel so big. Also walk like youre in a rush at all times when alone🤣
