9. Time Spent With Each Other

The one thing no one tells you about college: you will spend an ungodly amount of time with the friends you make. The sheer amount of time you’ll spend with one another doing absolutely nothing at all is staggering. But it is during these quiet moments that friendships are made. When you find that buddy who you can veg out on the couch all day and enjoy their company, that is a lifelong friend.

10. No Judgment

Since you see each other’s best and worst moments, then it is almost impossible for college friends to pass any sort of judgment on each other’s actions. This mutual give and take between friends is how lifelong friendships are formed. You’ve seen each other at rock bottom and now you’re able to enjoy the rise to the top together.
