It’s only naturaltobeworried about making newfriends when youstart university
Moving away from home andfrom thepalsyou’veknown formostof yourlifecan be daunting, butthe most importantthing to remember is that everyone is in thesameboat, andthatmeans everyone is looking foranew friendship group.
If you areinuniversity accommodation,leave your door open while moving in.Thiswillmakeiteasier forpeopletoapproachyou andwill also mean you cansee when everybody else arrivesand be able to introduce yourself.
Theseare thefellowstudents you will seeevery day, andwhile it’s not guaranteed they will automatically become firm friends, beingfriendly andapproachablewill make abig difference
Making everyone in your flat a cuppaorhavingsome biscuits or chocolates to offeraroundcan be a greatway to breakthe ice
Whatever you do don’tjustsit in yourroombyyourself. Whetherit’s thekitchen or lounge,spend time in thecommunalrooms in youraccommodation.
