Uni

[heartalice284]

so i was just wondering how did you guys make friends at uni? how did you start your conversations with randoms and actually continue the conversation without awkward silences. i read and heard that a lot of people don't have many close friends in uni due to different classes and stuff. 

 

Thanks

When I first started, everyone was so desperate to make friends that you spoke to anyone and everyone, and made friends from there.

My friends were mainly my housemates (I lived in a block with 20 other people), and people I met on nights out or at social events. I only started making friends in my classes this year TBH.

You might be put into groups for assignments and stuff, so you might make some friends through that. Sometimes you get  random person talk to you at lectures.

I'm still in first year of university, but I think that one really good way to make friends is to join as many clubs that interest you!~ In the University that I go to, there's so many different varieties of clubs that there is bound to be at least one that you would like. Honestly, for me, it's kind of awkward to talk or make friends with people in lectures or classes, but joining clubs is a good way to meet other people who are also interested in the same things that you are!

 

Good luck though! Just remember that when everyone starts university in the first year, everybody is in the same boat as yourself so they want to make friends just like everyone else

you make friends pretty easily tbh, not necessary close though

half of my classes are with a group of 20-25 ppl, so it's kinda like in high school

i also made friends in the basketball association, you can make friends through college activities, associations, clubs (dunno how you call these)

Me too :( Like I am an alive wall   I interact with them but in the end no success.

Any tips?

I found that it's kind of a natural process as you get to sit next to so many different people during lectures. Also (in my experience) people get extra chatty right before stressful situations, for example right before taking an exam. And as someone stated above group assignments also help to get to know new people.

talked to them at the bus station they were all turkish like me so we got along pretty quickly

Just get in there. Talk to them. Join societies. Invite people to go with you so you meet them outside the class.If you are studying in library, look out for your classmates, ask about questions that you don't understand. If you are doing group work, make a whatsapp group or something. Chat in there. Its difficult to approach people at first but you will feel good after you do it. That is if you meet friendly people which most of them are. You can do it. Good luck

go in, talk to the first person you see and yeah that's it ^^

 

you have more classes with people than you think

 

 

Also join activities and these first semester parties ,they help too (eventhough I did neither)

Definitely join clubs and things like that. I didn't, and the only reason I made friends was because my Chinese classes were small and very interactive (lots of small group work and roleplaying), so we all got to know each other. I had no friends from my core subjects until post-grad when everyone shared every class so it was like school and we were forced to spend time together lol

2nd year 2nd semester , no close friend

try with the person you are sitting in class and see how they respond

 

dont force yourself and just go for it

 

most of t the people are in the same situation as you

 

and if you want to make longer lasting friends ask them to do activities, hang out and such

an awkward tip from an awkward person: always target the awkward ones. at least that's how i made my friends.

[JUSTFEL]

In my case It wasn't difficult to make friends because i'm a talkative person and I tend to make friends easily.

 

You can join clubs, attend parties, talk to the person who is sitting next to you, they don't bite. The people you meet in your first year aren’t necessarily going to be the only people in your life the rest of your time on college but you will meet your best friend remember that good/best friends are hard to find. Keep them when you find them. Don't give up.

 

Just be yourself.

 

Chill out and have fun.

 

 

But I don't have social life because i'm a med student that's so sad but my friends are the same. We suffer together.
