Feeling lonely and isolated at university
Hello!
I am a film student making a 1 minute documentary about feeling lonely and isolated at university. I plan to show a story of someone experiencing this but then finding a friend.
I am particularly stuck on how exactly they end up making a friend, especially as this is a 1 minute film. I would love to hear from people's experiences and any ideas on ways to make a true friend when feeling isolated at uni.
It is completely fine to stay anonymous when replying as I am just looking for ideas!

Hi!
This seems like such a lovely idea! As someone that has supported people going through this here are a few things that i suggest:
•
Through signing up for societies
•
Contacting support and mental wellbeing teams
•
If the university does a buddy scheme they could meet someone through this
•
Freshers socials
•
Going to friend speed dating events at uni
•
Going to social events
•
Talking to your flatmates/people you live with
•
be spontaneous
•
if they have a job try to speak with co workers
I hope these are some good ideas you could think of!
Hope this helps!
Katy,
