because I didnt move to uni this year (im going to move in to halls next year) i havnt really socialized much with people at the uni cos they all live in halls and i live at home, so I havnt made many friends at uni plus I have quite a unique personality... so maybe people think im abit ... weird?? i dunno... i hope i dont scare people off can anyone think how can I make some friends at uni? its hard for me to go to the uni at night and go out with them cos i live quite far away too
also im quite shy so i dont like to ask people if i can join them and stuff... i wait to be asked!!!! aww...
i mean.. my friends where i live are nice, but i want uni friends so im not lonely when i move to the uni next year!!!!
I'm in a relatively similiar situation. I live in private accommodation in a flat with 3 other people, who have their own lives and often go out with friends they already know. I already know one guy on my course, but that's it, and I hate having no friends, it's lonely as hell. I guess it doesn't help that I don't drink or anything :/
When I was in halls last year, it was well easy to make new friends 'cause everyone was in the same boat as far as being away from home was concerned so it was fairly easy to go up and talk to random people I hardly knew. And trust me, being a complete introvert, talking to people isn't something that comes easily for me. Living at home, though, you've shot yourself in the foot here but you'll meet new people next year when you're in halls.
I think the people I know and am friends with from last year are about half from my course and half from halls, though several of the people I know from halls have since turned really bitchy and I'm not so sure I like them now so most of the people I hang around with are course mates. I'm also living with 5 friends from my corridor in halls last year.
Anyway, I assume your course has an associated society which organises socials and represents you at the union etc. Go along to some of those socials, or join societies which interest you and go to their events/socials and you'll soon meet some people who you share interests with. Or perhaps go and chill in your hall bar, if you have one.
are there not lots of clubs at uni ?
when I was there there were loads I joined , chess, motorbike etc ...
easy to make friends who have shared interest.
your tasts maybe different,
they were all run by the students union.
Visit the halls strip naked and run through them saying anyone that can catch me can be my special friend if you haven't got a shit load of randy/horny uni students chasing you by the end of the halls then its either closed or everyone is home for the night
Get a friend (or out of work actor) to dress up with a balaclava and a gun, and burst into the halls. Follow him in there and kick his ass, everyone will love you and youll be showered in friends.
You may of course get arrested or shot for looking too much like a Brazilian "terrorist".
yeh i have shot myself by not moving into halls... but i went through clearing after a last minute change of mind, so it was quite late to be thinking about accomodation, also i thought id save money now im kinda stuck
do you think i will make friends in the halls if i move in next year? O.O
yeh, there are alot of clubs... maybe i should join one... but even so, im still living so far away so i cant, like, go drinking or something afterwards ~.~
mmmm being shy sux ;___; well, im quite shy on the surface, but sponteneously random at times... mmm.... also i love cute things
aww id be the same probablyy....you could try looking for the other ppl with no friendsss and stalk them...or just try and talk to ppl whenever you can even if it's just for something stupid...like asking a question you already know the answer to or something like that.
probably you willl just make friends naturally when youve been there a bit longer...hope you dooooo
do you think i will make friends in the halls if i move in next year? O.O
I made a few new friends in halls this year, and I'm not even living there! But, I was one of the 2nd years who signed up to be on the "welcome committee" for my former hall so I got to drag the freshers round bars and stuff for a week.
ways to make friends?
plus I have quite a unique personality... so maybe people think im abit ... weird?? i dunno... 
i hope i dont scare people off
