Probably been done before but anyway…
As the title says, how can I make the most of being at uni when I don’t live there?
Currently halfway through my 2nd year, exam period now, then going back for teaching end of jan/start of feb. The thing is, i live at home and drive in to uni (about an hour away) for when i’ve got stuff timetabled. I had classmates last year but they’ve either dropped out or are doing a different course. Basically, that’s left me on my own in lectures and uni’s got pretty dull.
How can i make it better? If i had mates there, i’d go out and do all that kind of stuff, there’s pretty cheap hotels nearby and i’ve slept in my car when I’ve visited mates at other unis before so i can get around the accommodation problem.
Anyone else been in a similar situation?
Is it weird to join societies/sports clubs halfway through 2nd year?
Thanks for any replies!
