All my closest friends (the people i'm living with this year) are from my block of flats from the first year. Although interestingly none of them are from my actual flat. I've met a few friends through my course, and through other friends, but because i had such little contact time in lectures, it was probably inevitable that i became closest to people I was living with.

Not really, there was only four of us in my flat last year; one girl was a complete bitch, the other two were nice enough, but I didn't have much in common with them. I made great friends with the people living below me though, and some friends from upstairs, so it wasn't like i was friendless. I didn't really spend much time in my flat.

Mermania is right; they would be your acquaintances, not your friends if you don't even know their names.

Most of my close friends I made at the halls. There were all of us down a corridor together, about 15 in total. We all got on really well, its a great time to make friends too, simply because you are all living together so closely and seeing each other most of the time.

However, if things do not go well in halls, and believe me things will go wrong, there are always people on your course. I have met some really nice people on my course too.

Societies I have been told are a good place to meet new people, but I was a bit lazy in that department during my first year...

Out of my close friends...2 are from my course. Then my best friend was in my flat and I got to know 2 other people from her course and two others were from the bar. I think.

It's a bit different at Cambridge, as we have colleges, and most of the people I see regularly are in college.

Last year I started Uni at a part of UCE called TIC. It's very much seperate from the rest of UCE and socially is more of its own place. The only real link is those who are in halls will obviously be in halls with people from other UCE campuses. Anyway, my faculty (tic) did two types of course; Music, and Computing. All of my friends were made at TIC freshers events (mainly) and not one of them was on a Computing course (I was). Was a bit gay, as I'd go to lectures and have no friends, but then again they were all boring.

This year I'm at the main UCE campus doing Media and I've made friends mainly from my course as I am way to skint to go to freshers this year.
