Didn't really get on with any of my coursemates or flatmates - just not my type of people. The only thing keeping me preoccupied/entertained was the sport society I joined. Spent a lot of time bored in my room this year, and I'm a relatively social person. It was either that or force myself to go on nights out with a group I barely connect with. As a result I don't have a solid group of friends, just individuals/few people from here and there who I only occasionally go out with.
Bit of a shame because I was really excited coming to uni, and a lot of my friends here and elsewhere seem to be having a great time with their flatmates/coursemates. It's frustrating because I'm relatively social and I get on with a wide variety of people, yet all the people I have encountered (especially during the first few months at uni) so far are just not my type of people, with exception to a few (but these people already have their own groups). It's frustrating to see everyone else effortlessly fall into their friendship groups, when this is usually fairly easy for me.
Hopeful for 2nd year however, as I plan to change course, which will hopefully give me a 'fresh start' at uni (dont worry this isnt the reason I'm changing course lol).
Anyone else had a similar experience?
