I won't make any friends!
I'm extremely shy, and I'm worried about the second year when we're expected to move out with our friends; I won't have anyone to live with! I guess I'll just have to spend all my time in a drunken stupor, as I'm okay then! 
Anyone else feel like this?

just join lots of sports clubs and societies,
sure you'll find at least one friend
sure you'll find at least one friend
Heh at least one, that's optimism! 
It's just I've never started somewhere completely new; at college I still have a large group of friends from school, but I'm hoping as everyone's in the same boat at uni it'll get a little easier to find a new group of friends. We shall see!

It's ok to be shy - its just your personality but you just need to learn to come out of yourself more and the only way you are going to do that is by being in social situations. Living with other people will be a good challenge for you.
I second the whole clubs n societies thing - from personal experience, it is a great way to make new friends and keep you entertained
Good luck

Oi
I'm not extremely shy I just take a while to open up to people, though I'm better with a bit of alcohol!sikapetahi
Have you heard of freshers week? >.<
Ohh I'm looking forward to that
I will no doubt scare everyone off with my crazy drunkenness however Should be fun!
Okay so alcohol, sweets and optimism, - sorted! Thanks
you will make friends! as soon as i get to uni i will leave my door open when sorting things out, that way people can come in and say hi and i can go and say hi to other people.
im normally really shy but everyone is in the same boat so it will be ok,
also, my brother told me that dont make plans to move in with people u meet the first few weeks because all may change. he said that people normally start making plans for the second year just after christmas.

I'm really shy too, but because it's held me back so much I'm going to make a determined effort not to let that continue at uni.
Nobody knows you, so you can effectively re-create yourself into whoever you want
I plan on putting some good happy music on, booze out and a big pack of haribo, then leave the door open and try and talk to as many people as possible.

that sounds like a great idea!!!!!!
booze and haribo = yummy!
might have to steal your idea
Practice throwing yourself in to social situations throughout summer, by september you'll be much more confident.
Also anyone who offered me decent sweets would immediatly be on my 'talk to again' list.

Anyone else feel like this?I was worried about this, i moved in with my 'friends' in the end. It wasn't what i expected, as they turned out not to be who i thought they were. So this year im moving into a flat with 13 other people.... i know none of them, and im really looking forward to it!!
Dont worry about it. Just enjoy the first year, make the most of it. If you dont click with anyone in halls, join some clubs and societies, you are bound to make friends!
Bribe people is what i say, i made loads of cookies to take to my halls, people were around me like flies haha.
