I need some advice about the people in my camp (kind of long)?
I didn't know how else to put it.
I'm at a summer program at an Ivy League University (not gonna say which one) and I guess you could say I'm having trouble making friends.
A very large amount of the students (more than half) are from other countries but they seem to prefer hanging out with people from their own countries or people who speak the same language (This isn't me being racist; this is me stating what's happening). I completely understand wanting to socialize with people in your own language, but it's not exactly helping my social life.
A rather large amount (not all) of the other Americans here are rather strange. They're practically incapable of holding up a conversation, other than one that pertains to their work or classes. Whenever I talk to them, I can't help but think to myself, "These aren't normal teenagers; these are drones."
I've never had problems making friends before this major before and I feel as if I'm going to go insane.
I really need some advice; this camp lasts for another month.
I'm sorry for the long question and I'm sorry that it was more of me whining about my colleagues than an actual question.

try starting a conversation with someone from another english speaking country like england. i had the same problem so i started conversations with people from great britain and they seemed pretty cool. you could also start hanging out with some councilors. lastly, you can try to talk to someone who speaks a language you would like to learn a bit of, and if they know a bit of english, you could teach each other your languages
