I've said this before and I'll say it again,
It's really about yourself. Nothing is impossible, but if you're very shy and you hole up in your room all day long, you're not going to make any friends.
Tbh I've heard ppl say it's bad, but my friend's sister went there and LOVED it. She loved it sm that even the younger sister (my friend) really wanted to go there. You're in London as well, plenty to do there and plenty of ppl to meet there. Join the clubs and socs, be friendly and open and you'll find ppl.
