I mean...okay I see your point, but I know you have reasons for that so it's not really
Hm...yeah, I think I get it. It's a life experience after all, even the WHO classes being single as a disability so
If it's something that you should be open to though, what do you do when you aren't? I mean, don't feel anything like that? What sorta happened was at some point I just went "nope no love, it just makes me weak and insecure", and then forgot how to feel the thing
I think for OXFORD of all places you probably had plenty of other pressures to deal with, no? But no I see your point, social media has definitely had its negatives when it comes to "herd mentality" I think it's called? I mean, by a good chunk of this website users' standards, my current university and my 5 choices are all 'not good enough' (except possibly Edinburgh). If it's good enough for you, I think that must be all that matters?
The flatmates and classmates being nice I think is definitely an important facet of university I've not had luck with so far; again it is sort of a case of "you can never tell til you get there", though! I have to admit though, hearing this:
" only began making proper friendships in my second year, I'd say, in all honesty
"
is actually really reassuring. Again probably thanks to social media, I was under the impression if you don't make friends during Freshers or at the least Year 1, you'll be a loner. Glad to hear friendships do develop later on in a course!
