how to make friends at uni?

im also having the same problem

Join a few societies. Most unis have at least a hundred. Look up the societies in your uni now online and in freshers week join them. You will get instant friend groups with people who also have an interest in Chess/reading/Harry Potter etc.

its horrible isn’t it. idk about you but i don’t really like parties or big social events so i feel like i’ll be so left out..

Try to make friends with the people who are doing the same course as you. I know it's difficult, but there are some really friendly and openly nice people at university. I was very introverted at uni and yet I got along well with many people on my course. I know it may not be the same for you, but I think if you put yourself out there and mingle with those people who have similar interests and ideals as yourself, you'll easily make friends.

I think that depends on your mentality heading into a big social event. If you go in there thinking positive and wanting to engage you will do so, but if you turn up nervous and uncertain then you'll struggle unless there's someone there who can get you out of your shell.

i wouldn’t want to be at a big event all by myself i’d prefer to go with one other person at least i feel like that would help a lot

will the fact that i commute make me left out of society events?
