Moving into halls in jan...nervous!!!

Hey guys, I am moving into halls in jan, as I didn't get accom before. I am so so nervous!! and have no idea what to expect. Obviously I have made a few friends who live in halls...(even though I talk to them, I'm not close with them.).and have stayed around one's place when we went clubbing. But I feel really distant to them as I don't see them during the day as we do completely diff courses!! and I haven't been out with them in ages! Do you think when I move into halls they will make more of an effort with me..cos they don't tell me when they go out and stuff..cos I am the only one who lives at home..and they hardly see me. As I'm mostly with my course mates, who live at home.

I'm really worried because I think I may feel left out :frown:

esp in the evenings cos I'm not sure if people will like me 'butting in' as they have already made friends..and got their routine for after uni is finished...! I don't know what I want people to say..just give me some advice really :frown:

Thanks.

there are always people out and about who are ready to make friends - just coz you are joining in late doesn't mean that they are gonna treat you any less! just enjoy the halls! :smile:

When living or moving into halls u never know what 2 expect!!!

It's pretty much hit or miss!!! Dont worry to much about the ppl on ur floor too much and going out clubbing as their r pplliving above u and below u an as long as u dont stay inur room all the time and socialise this should notbe toomuch of an issue.

Trust me wen u live in halls you'll see ur friends all the time!! trust me :s-smilie:

I guess what u r really worried about is wether theywouuld have bonded vey well without u? and the answer is u simplydont kno as it really depends. If that is the case dont panic, there will b other living with u n u can try making new friends by mabe asking for an orientation or something seeing as though they wud now kno the area around halls better. :smile:

dont worry about it too much though, have brilliant christmas holiday n take each day as it comes in jan!! :smile:

Some people don't even find good friends at uni until the second term. I know I didn't. So you don't need to worry about it. People are still moving around groups of friends in the first term so I doubt if you've missed much!

And here's another piece of advice: By the end of the year, you probably won't speak to half the people you spoke to in the first term. So, just take things as they come and don't stress too much about it.

Also, it's good to be on your own sometimes.

And, attend society events because that's where you may find your next best friend!
