University Problems

Hey,

I had to move Uni's in October due to home sickness (my Uni I am at now is near my family & my bf goes to the same Uni so it is much better). This meant I started quite late on my course & obviously people already had their friendship groups formed. However, my housemates all appeared lovely & made me feel welcome. I made friends with one housemate more than the others. Then 3 to 4 weeks into me being there, things kicked up. Me and the other girl started to feel intimidated and had threats against us by 2 of our housemates so after much trouble we moved out to a completly new accommodation up the road. My new housemates seem lovely but I don't feel like I know them very well. Also, although I talk to people on my course, I lack motivation to attend many of my lectures so I haven't really had a chance to form friendships with many of my class mates. It's really knocking my confidence. I thought uni was all about making lots of new friends & I just haven't done that. It's really getting me down. The only thing that keeps me going is seeing my boyfriend when he comes over....

Also, I just found out that my friend (flatmate) who is really the only girl I go out with) is moving in with some other girls next year so now I'm worried that I will have no one to live with. :frown:

I just feel like a spare part to be honest.

Grrrrr. Sorry for the moan!!

I think that only you can remedy this situation. Attend all your lectures, join societies and clubs - you really *must* use any method you can now to socialise.

I don't really know what other advice I can give to you, but good luck.
