Will I make friends if I study online?

We’ll keep this one short and sweet.

One of the biggest misconceptions that we hear about studying online is that students won’t feel like they are part of a community. That they’ll miss out on certain aspects of ‘traditional’ higher education. We all know what aspects they are, and personally, I’d rather give freshers’ flu a miss 👀

We’re working hard at LIBF to create a community for our online students, so that you can still meet others on your degree program, and network with them! We have a thriving online platform open to all LIBF students and have seen some really meaningful conversations taking place. We’ll even pop in ourselves from time-to-time to help answer some questions!

So yes! You will absolutely make friends.

Are you an online student? If so, we’d love to hear from you, what are your tips for making friends whilst studying online?
