Well I took my xbox 360 to uni, so making friends with the lads was easy. Just invited them in to play fifa :P
Otherwise I did a very typically English thing and asked everyone if they fancied a brew

My form tutor recommended similar things to all of this - wedge your door open and have a tin of Celebrations/Quality Street for people to dip into. It's an easy way to strike conversation as you'll be surprised how many people will be like "Ohh I dont like Bountys" or "Are there any Malteser ones left?" etc! Plus, I saw elsewhere that you should print/make a sign for your door for the first week or so with your name (and maybe course?) so your flatmates can remember your name!
Great advice, much appreciated

That is actually quite a good idea!

It's just something I saw elsewhere on TSR! I'm not sure if I'll do it myself, but other people might :-)

I'd buy a huge pack of printer paper, print out a sheet with the title 'roommate agreement', put it on the front, and start interviewing everyone who walks in through the door, about their favourite amino acids, their opinions on Star Trek and their bowel movement cycles
If i walked into my flat and found someone sat there doing this... i would introduce myself as penny. And we would be the best of friends!
(....unless they actually WHERE as anal as sheldon.... that could get a bit much)

Like SMD said it's about some children who got stuck on an island without adults, - basically how they established a hierarchy and create different factions within the body of people. Kind of sounds like university?
A lot of people are saying to get to know your flatmates a bit on facebook if you find them ofcourse.. and that's what we did last year, bit more than half of us from the house (3 flats) created a fb conversation and talked there about going out together and stuff like that.. but I found that when meeting them it was a bit awkward, I kind of wish I didn't know them before meeting them..and my closest few friends from the flat didnt join the fb group at all.
Another thing I agree on bringing something, like one girl bought cupcakes she made at home and they were amazing!! That helped a lot haha.
Also after some days when you have to go do you first food shopping or laundry ask some of your flatmates if they want to come a long, this also helps to bond with people
