Which uni are you at and which area are you living in? I live here, I could try and give you some ideas of where to go what to do.

join a library and a book club and meet people through that. Not necessary as part of university.

Or get a part time job if you have time, that's a sure way to meet new people.

that will just get you in with the ugly girls. Join some sports societies... like skiing and snowboarding... theres usually a good mix there.(even if a lot r toffs)

I would join a library and book club and i am not ugly.

well lets see..... even if you are genetically good looking.... your spare time is spent inside, reading books (putting on fat) and staying indoors (getting pale) and talking about books (yawn). Its just boring..... and you cant really socialise that well in a bloody library.

i'm not genetically good looking, all surgery :biggrin:

(not really). You're right about the pale thing though. Pale and Proud.

How ridiculous! Do you not realise that just because one of someone's interests is reading, it does not mean this is ALL THEY DO? This is a very secondary school type attitude you have, like assuming that because someone actually reads in reading time, and does well at school, they can't do other things. People were always surprised to find out that I danced, for instance.

I love reading, and would certainly consider joining a book club. On the other hand, I also do several types of dancing (certainly not fat!). There's nothing wrong with being pale anyway. I'm not really pale, but nor am I very tanned, and I'd quite like to be a bit paler than I am, to be honest.

Besides, the OP was talking about making friends, not about finding himself an attractive girlfriend. So your comments were mostly somewhat irrelavant.

Joining societies wherever your interests lie is a good start as well as the part time job idea. You can still go out and not drink. I have a friend who does this all the time and shes fine :smile:

Okay, well ive been in London now for a few weeks (about 2-3ish).
And like mentioned in one of my other threads, im quite a distance away from the uni, i dont drink, and i dont go to clubs. So at the moment im finding it ridiculously boring over here....people suggested joining societies which i am doing, but im finding its mainly elders in these.....seeing im really into my arts and music.
Im not desperate for friends, but it would be so relieving to make new friends and be introduced to new people. However in terms of girls, im ridiculously shy! so how do i try have a mixed sex group of friends because of this.

Any suggestions on how i can meet new people to relieve my utter boredom.

You're in London at uni. It's social suicide. I went to London last year for uni and it's the most ironically, depressingly dull place I've ever been. The place is too big and nobody wants to know.

Guess you could tell I didn't like London? Viva Leeds :biggrin:
