Reading a thread on TSR earlier about commuting to university as opposed to living there, one of the major drawback to commuting is that it will be a lot harder to make friends.
I will be living at home because I have a part time job here and need to save money for plans of moving out after university. I've lived alone in Asia for 11 months so not really bothered about the independence living away from home will bring. Also I'll be 24 and feel being stuck in a house with a load of energetic 18 year old's would drive me crazy after a while.
My biggest concern is making friends. I'm fairly quiet and introverted. Any tips on making friends? Seems like a ridiculous question! I plan on joining a few societies. I have a huge passion for motorbikes, I ride a GSXR myself and would love to join a society for this but my university doesn't seem to have one. They have a freaking Quidditch for Gods sake!
