Hello @barat,
Which university are you currently studying at ? I would suggests joining societies or sports clubs that meet your interests in order to find a community that appeals to you. Or perhaps you could trying speaking to other students on your course!
The more people you talk to the easier it will become! Well done from travelling outside of your home, that is a huge achievement! 😊

Hi @barat ,
This is great that you are putting yourself out there to make friends! It is a great way of meeting people an I hope you meet lots of new people 🙂
I agree with Tiffany that societies are a great way of making friends so maybe have a look into the societies that your uni offers and see if there are any that you might be interested in. You can often meet lots of people here and they will all likely have something in common with you (the society) so you may find that you can make conversations more easily because of this.
Social media is also a great tool for meeting new people and making friends. Often people will post on here and talk on groups on Facebook for your uni so have a look and see if you can find any of these as they are good ways of making friends and making plans.
I would also maybe have a look and see if the student union at your uni is putting any events on. Quite often the SU at a uni will put different events on where you can meet people and go and do a fun activity together so if this is something you might like, this might be worth a try!
If you are living in accommodation, you may also meet people this way too so try and be open minded and put yourself out there with talking to people and making friends!
I hope some of this helps,
Lucy -SHU student ambassador.
