Lonely in Manchester

Hey, am in my first year at Manchester uni and am still feeling a bit of an outsider really, anyone else studying at Manchester feeling the same?

I'm at Salford University but don't feel like an outsider because I have lived in Manchester all my life.

Have you found it hard to settle in? I only find it hard because I live at home and miss out on a lot of the typical uni social life.

Manchester rocks! Go to St Anne's Square - lots of coffee places! It just takes a bit of getting used to :smile:

3 well not strictly in but 10 secs away from Starbucks, you have one in the mini in door shopping area, and 1 opposite the clock :smile:

So take your pick! :smile:

I love coffee!

Lol prefer coke and lager!

St Annes Square is too posh for me! Piccidally is too rough for me though.

Yeah but Barton Arcade could just as easily be Deansgate :tongue:

Manchester is great but its a big place and although that may seem like your more likely to make lots of new friends; frankly you aren't, give it time though you can't expect to make your best friends in the first few months.
