Everyone has a 'comfort zone' in here, namely their own room. Nobody really bothers to leave it; if you want to see change you've gotta come downstairs sometimes, make the effort in conversation, and so on.

Stop thinking so much about the way others perceive you. It changes your behaviour in a way that isn't appealing to anyone and just highlights you aren't comfortable or secure. It's hard to do, but important.

A smaller university doesn't necessarily mean you'll make more friends. This dude went to Plymouth (20,000, compared to our 30,000+) and for seven months sat outside waiting lectures and nobody really talked to him. (Although 2 unis I was looking at are 6,000 and 15,000 - maybe it is true in smaller ones?)

He did confirm that people tend to stick in their own established groups, but that with enough persistence, you can join them.

Reaffirmed societies are important. I wonder if it's too late...
•
He left Plymouth because nothing felt right there to him and told me there's nothing wrong in doing that if it comes to it, especially if there are some aspects to it (so he moved to Cardiff bc his best friend was there, for example)

He told me to give it 2 more weeks before deciding anything, making full efforts to see change.
