Friends. Anybody feeling lonely in London?

Hi there
I'm studying uni. I'm a mature student. Living in London. Have a very few friends in here (moved here couple of years ago) and find it really difficult to get new ones.
What about you ?
Are you surrounded by friends?
I wish I was
Same minded people
Who like to chat, walk through London etc..

This probably isn't the safest way to get to know people. Have you tried university societies?

I really can't tell if that's sarcastic or not xD

If it is sarcasm and you've tried it before, have you considered the London student union, rather than just your local uni societies?

No It's not sarcasm at All.

I am just wondering if I can join some of the societies now in the middle or actually end of the academic year.
Or If I don't have to wait till September or October.

Most uni societies let you join mid-term. You might have to contact them individually rather than through the Fresher's Week events, but I don't see why they wouldn't like some new members at any time.

I made spelling mistakes, I meant mature and people who are 24 call themselves mature and think that's old
