If so then how and why???

[Orphan]

I know a girl who went through the first year without making any friends. She is on my course and is Muslim. She didn't (or wasn't allowed?) to integrate with the rest of the course members. She lived at home locally and would be delivered to the lectures by a family member and then collected again at the end of the day. In practical lessons she didn't (or wasn't allowed?) to work with male students either. I was quite sorry for her.

WTF how is she going to work?

A girl I know has been at uni 3 years and as far as I know hasn't made any friends. I think this is because she lives at home and her boyfriend kept going up with her and hanging around with her all the time even though he didn't go to that uni, so she didn't have a chance to make new friends. She also stuck to school friends who also went to that uni, but they all moved off into their separate courses and made new friends.
Basically she missed her chance to make new friends in first year due to this, and now everyone in her course already have their friends groups, and it's difficult to just join one.

I don't think commuting to uni everyday has much of an effect though, I do that and I'm fine.

Thats just like my course. It was a shame, as she seemed nice.

Me basically I only hang around with 2 guys at Uni & one is double my age I wouldn't call them friends as I haven't met up with them outside of Uni. I met up with a few other through Facebook but after we exchanged numbers they've ignored me when I asked if they'd like to meet up. Also when I tried talking to a few other people when I first joined & they ignored be too which is one of the most annoying things someone can do when you're just trying to be friendly Anyway I probably have no real friends is because I get quite self-conscious around people I don't know & don't do stuff such as clubbing/partying/going to the pub/drinking due to family reasons. My social life on TSR is great though. Had some really nice conversations with total strangers but if only I could convert that into real life.

I don't have any uni friends. I tried going to the clubs and societies but I didn't really click with anyone and it was too much of a hassle to go to them. I live a bit under an hour and a half away from uni and there were hours in between the end of lectures and the society meetings and I can't really afford to be going and coming back from uni a couple of times a day so it just wasn't worth it.
