Am I at university and friendless?
Or do I have friends who don't go to uni?
Which one?
Either way the answer is no to both.

I'm a mature student, and all the rest are a lot younger, so no, I don't. I'm also a commuter to uni, so that doesn't help. I just don't have that much in common with them apart from we're all learning the same thing.
I'm hopefully going to Leeds uni next year. And although some people i know are going there, i don't talk to them. So yeah, i'm going to be friendless 
unless i meet people!

Well, its not uncommon stuff and I talk to them obviously, but their lives are completely different to mine. I like a good drink every now and then, but I don't go clubbing and pubbing like they all wanna do, and I have to commute anyway. I just wanna get home after, 'cos I dont feel so good emotionally anyway (a recent split).
Not on my course. I'd probably call a few flatmates friends though.
don't put pressure on yourself to meet people from uni specifically...when I did my undergrad degree most of my friends were from other walks of life which were mostly common interest groups outside of uni...twas good
Well I have mates at uni but I live at home and get the bus in so I've never really gone on a night out with any of them. I've been into town and stuff with some of them. For the first two years I went on nights out to the pub and so on with one of my best mates who I went to school and college with as he had a job and stayed at home. Now he's gone away to a uni so I don't tend to go out that much now as my other best mate here doesn't really enjoy nights out but I have the odd game of golf with him and so on.
Some of my mates from uni really want to go out with me on a night out though as they think I'm a bit mad but we just never get around to planning anything.
It's not that long until Christmas and then Summer holidays when all of my best mates are back from their unis anyway, I like my little break from clubbing.

At my first uni I found it easy to make friends right from the very start.
This uni I've made a few acquaintances but that's it. They all seem to be drink obsessed, stupid and inconsiderate here, and yet it's a top 40 uni...

I don't have any proper friends, just people I occasionally talk to. Partly because I don't have much in common with them, partly because of laziness and general apathy on my part.
My boyfriend and friends from home (when I actually get to see them) are really the only people I socialise with in a meaningful way.

None. 
Can't say I've made made any proper friends really. But then again I am a grumpy old *******!
I can say I have made one proper friend, and talk to my flatmates, occasionally going over the road to play pool or something with them, or watch youtube or something! I know a few people on my course but am not proper friends with them, but after a few socials I probably will be 
. Just need to spend some more time getting to know other people really, it can be hard.

I don't have friends as such.. I mean, I know people on my course and I make an effort to talk to them in lectures, but its really when you see them outside of the academic sphere that it counts, imo.
I was at uni last year for Art Foundation (not a degree - currently going through 2010 application) and only made one friend.
But he was only my friend because he wanted to sleep with me. Since leaving he's severed all contact with me.
I disliked all of my year group - just obsessed with clubbing. I find it pointless. I'd much rather stay in and play video games. No one could relate to me, and I could not relate to them, so by the end of the first month into my course, I gave up on making friends.
It was ok - I joined the Gaming Society and fitted in well there instead - I looked forward to Thursday evenings and pretty much forgot all the rest of the drunk idiots on my course, only attending lectures and never hanging out with anyone after class or anything.
I am optimistic that next year will be better, because I will be surrounded by more like-minded computer nerds and less airheaded fashion photographers! (No offense intended to anyone - just an extreme generalisation of my experience from last year to put across a point!)

Are you serious? How do you even dig a thread like this up? Look when the last post was made. These people will have graduated and probably have families by now.
I have friends but they have their plans (practicing), and hard to find something conversation in common (doing music here)
