No Friends at Uni - International Student

Hi,I am an international student and i am in my third year of studies out of 4. In these years, i didn’t make any friends, even though I kept going out with university societies for a while and I only stopped recently. In fact, in these years, I didn’t build any friendship and I’m not in any group. It’s more I have few acquaintances than friends. In fact, rarely we meet each others in those few societies’ events and out of that we are like strangers. I think it’s also because there’s a barrier between me and them as I am a foreigner, so I’m not similar to anyone. As a result, I always spend my evenings and weekends alone in my room watching Netflix and using my laptop. I’m homesick because at least in my home country, I had my family or someone to spend the evening with, even with a cinema night or anything at home. Now, I have no one even to talk about anything or to simply take a coffee with.Moreover, my university doesn’t have many societies and those fews are also not really active or dead. As a result, I can’t try other societies and meet new people, especially international students as me who could be in my same situation.

I recommend to find friends online, sounds really vague. But my best friends came from people I met online with similar mind sets to me , and it eased the load on uni . It makes ya more socially active and feel happier. And yeah its really hard sometimes to find friends and covid made it even worse. So I recommend to find communities online , if you do have a pc or even mobile. Make new friends that like what ever subject your doing or any interests

Is there a society for international students at your university?

Hes said that the societies are basically dire. And at the year he's at would likely be better to find a permanent society of friends online. Instead of a physical one? Means he can connect with others and still enjoys the things he likes , but if its a physical thing my best advice is finding it outwith uni. Sometimes that's the best way now , somewhat unis and colleges feel like a individual doing their own stuff rather than interacting. Seen alot here in Scotland
