University Advise

I am now in my 2nd year in a university. Last year I went to another university and honestly made mistakes I regret from a social perspective. I was able to make friends easily in my old university however not close friends. I have only seen a couple of them once in the past 6 months. However, I have made mistakes, and they now view me as innocent, weak, and dumb. At the end of the year, I decided to transfer to universities. I have been accepted and just started my new university however as I am a second-year student it is a bit harder for me to make friends as everyone has their friendship group. I have only commuted to my university 3 times and the last time I went I was talking to a couple of people however they weren’t my type of people to chill with but hopefully, I won’t give up until I find a genuine group of friend or even 1 friend I can chill with.

Since yesterday, I have been trying to rejoin my old university as I am quite scared it will be even worse for me at this new university. I have seen people I can chill with in my new university but I didn’t approach them. I am also trying to be cautious as I made mistakes that I don’t intend on making again as I don’t want to experience things from last year again.

I honestly don’t know what to do. I am thinking of returning to my old university but trying to earn the respect of the friends I know at my old university but that won’t necessarily mean that I will have close friends. But if I still go to my new university I know I can make a new start and try to make close friends as I have been quite lonely during the summer.

I honestly don’t know what to do as the same thing might happen at my new university or I might even become lonely and lose out on the friends I only had.

Before you ask about the education perspective they both have very similar rankings.

Any advice?
