My family's moving to a completely new city (Canterbury) this summer, and I don't have any friends there and have only been to the place a few times. I feel like I want to get to know the place and set up roots there, but I only have a few weeks from when we move till my final year at uni begins. I intend to live there after I graduate.
Would it be ridiculous to go home every weekend so I can socialise/get to know people from the area? At the moment it doesn't feel like I will have much of a home there and the Christmas/Easter hols are not long enough to make friends in. I can afford the travel costs and my uni is not too far away, but am not sure if it is worth taking time out of my uni social life, or if I will be able to make many friends in Canterbury when I am only there at the weekends.
