The first time I lived alone, which was my senior year of college, I didn't get to know my neighbor until after Christmas break, when I was trying to lug all my stuff in as few trips as possible. He saw me drop something, grabbed it off the stairs and helped me get it into my apartment. We got to talking on the porch (as a thank you, I gave him a beer from my fridge), and by the time my friend came over that afternoon, we had covered the gamut and the 3 of us went for dinner. Probably not the smartest thing to do, befriend a strange guy in college when I lived alone, but he ended up being a great person to help out on things (like when my ex showed up at 3am and starting banging on my door because he was drugged out of his mind and wouldn't go away... so my neighbor walked out and threatened to call the cops and stood out there until he left).
