Gallery: These Apps Will Make Finding Friends in a New City Infinitely Easier

Whether you're shy, outgoing, or some interesting combination of the two, making new friends isn't always an easy task when you're thrown into a new environment. Busy school and work schedules don't ever seem to help the situation either. 

If you're looking to make long-lasting, non-romantic connections in the age of ever advancing technology, there seems to be no better way to connect with new people than through your smartphone. And while you can totally do it the "old fashioned" way and cyber stalk the Facebook pages of your classmates and co-workers for people that look cool, you can also depend on a number of apps to help you make new friends. 

You don't need to wade through countless skeevy Tinder profiles and fight off creeps either, all you need to do is download one of the great apps on this list, enter in your location, and let your awesome personality do all the work!
