Come down the gym with me and we'll perv on hot girls working their little asses on the cross-trainers.

I have no friends from uni either, but this is because I don't make the effort.

You need to gather some confidence (or alcohol, or cocaine, whatever helps) and go to clubs, any club will do. There's an Anime society at my uni and I think you would fit right in.

I went for a week but didn't fit in, because

a) I don't have long hair
b) I don't have a DS and bum Mario
c) I don't dress like a spacker

So yeah, pick a club or two, and go. At the start of the year, make the effort because there will be other new people as shy as you there. If you go later in the year you'll feel like there is already an established group.

well you should. but command and conquer is really cool so that partially makes up for the lack of mario interest :p

lol, I do like Mario 64 and want SMG, and I also want a DS at some point

But I just didn't share their rabid enthusiasm

I tried to join the Alternative Music Society here, but didn't fit in because I actually listened to alternative music, not just dressed like I did.

Wouldn't worry about ice breaker, when you move into halls you'll most likely be moving in with freshers. Don't worry freshers are great fun.

I'm in third year now and i've just moved back into student accomodation, spent a year away from it and couldn't bare not being surrounded by everyone.

First year halls were great i lived with 7 other people 4 girls 3 other dudes, totally awesome and met most of the people i knew during freshers week. From then off kept meeting new people through all the other people so been pretty good. Guess i was lucky that i met people that were like me.

I'm pretty sure you will to, find clubs that suit your style of music, or atmosphere and just chill there.

It's such a cliche to say but really as long as your yourself and your reasonably easy to get on with you'll find people like you. Friends are the most important thing in the world, so make them and keep them and theres so many people in uni you can afford to be choosy about the ones you keep.
