Hey!
I would say that when you first start uni, you should get involved with as many things as you possibly can and try to meet as many people as you can. Make sure you try all the societies you are interested in (they usually do taster sessions) and this way you'll meet like-minded people. Push yourself out of your comfort zone! Also, try not to go home too soon - a lot of the friendships and bonds you make happen within the first few weeks, so its important to be there.
Remember that you are there to get a degree, so do your best.
Good luck - I am sure you'll do great!
