Let's start with my flat mates - they're predominantly international students, which I don't have an issue with, but their English isn't brilliant so there's a huge language barrier; 5 of the 8 of them are from the same country, and they seemed to have already knew eachother before coming here - so it was hard trying to socialise and make friends with them.
I've tried speaking to people on my course, and that's been okay but I'm not really making friends - and haven't been speaking to people that much since friendships already started to form.
All the events at freshers week seem to be heavily for people who drink, and stay out late ect so I didn't go to any of the events because honestly I don't want to be out until early hours of the morning - and there haven't been many events for those that don't think, and if there were, they were a while away from the accommodation.
There are also lots of societies, however none of them seem to interest me - and the majority of them are for international students ie meeting other people from the same country as them.
I honestly don't know what to do, my parents keep going on at me about making friends and how "it'll be good for me" but I'm trying and nothing seems to be working.
