Anyone not made any friends yet at uni ?

Hey so its been one week however i wanted to start a thread knowing if i was the only one who hasnt really made any proper friends yet and ive noticed my current friend is avoiding me telling me to go in without her not to wait for her and avoiding me being around . Anyone got any tips on how to make friends at uni ?

You're not the only one and it seems like everyone in my uni has made new friends and I feel like the only person to have not made any friends. I thought I had made friends but they keep leaving me out so I guess we aren't really friends.

yes thats exactly how i am feeling
I've made a few somehow. If an anti-social c*nt like me who doesn't deserve friends can make some friends then so can you. If you're struggling then join clubs or societies. Go talk to your flatmates. Speak to people on your course.

I haven't properly started my course yet so I haven't really met many people on it however I feel that I'm not going to make any friends as the majority of the people that go to my uni are not the type of people I would want to be friends with.
I thought it was impossible for me and here I am. I wasn't even intending on making friends and somehow it just happened :rofl:

thanks guys but it does feel like a lot of people have made little groups what should i do just go up and approach them ?
I had a slow start at uni, shared a flat with 4 boys who went to a different uni, but things picked up by Christmas, I made friends with people on my course who were similar to me and I joined two societies, one was something I wanted to try and the other was something I already loved

Yeah I'm being serious, it was v cute.
made friends with my housemates (2 in particular) but tbh haven't really made any in my course and societies. A lot of people are local people and already know/knew each other and tbh i wouldn't really consider people friends unless i have talked to them a lot. Don't really help myself as don't drink and a lot of things that people bond over seem to be centred on alcohol so yeh, freshers and everything doesn't seem to be this friend supermarket that everyone made it out to be ngl so don't feel alone :console:

i mean i dont really know because im pretty new to this myself but i dont imagine that lectures are the best place to talk to people, i guess discussion is encouraged in tutorials and there might be group work depending on the course but again you are there to work, if you haven't got flatmates or housemates or anything joining a lot of socities is probably the best thing or seeing if you can meet up with your course mates out of uni hours?

My course has about 18 to 20 contact hours a week, so it was easy to talk to people in labs and at breaks, especially being able to talk about lecture material and tutorial work

I did a separate module in another school, managed to (sort of) make two friends, just friendly faces that I could sit next to in lectures. If your stood waiting to go into the same room, just strike up a conversation (OMG, what was he going on about in that last lecture? I'm suprised there's so many people here)
Worst thing is someone will look at you like you are crazy, and thats not all bad
