Hello,
Personally, I made my friends mainly through my course. We would hang out or go for lunch in between classes.
I also made some close friends in my accommodation common spaces.
Another interesting place to make friends is the gym. 🏋️ If you lift weights sometimes you might need someone to spot you, so you can make friends that way.
Finally, if you like to study in the library you can often meet people there too!
Best of luck,
Haya
