Starting university and immersing yourself in a completely new environment can be daunting\u2014especially if you haven\u2019t yet found your circle. But don\u2019t worry, here are a few tips to help you connect with more people and feel more at home!<\/p>\n
Student Support offers a variety of support groups<\/a> aimed at helping students who may be feeling lonely to connect with others and become part of a community. One of these groups is the\u00a0Social Networking Group<\/strong><\/a>, which holds weekly sessions designed to help students meet new people and make friends.<\/p>\n Each session includes activities, but they\u2019re completely optional\u2014so there\u2019s no pressure to join in if you\u2019re not feeling up for it. If you\u2019re feeling isolated and want to meet someone new, feel free to drop by. You never know\u2014you might just find someone you really click with!<\/p>\n This tip might seem obvious, but it's worth emphasising: it\u2019s never too late to join a community. Some students think they\u2019ve missed their chance if they didn\u2019t sign up during Fresher\u2019s Week, but that\u2019s not the case! Don\u2019t let that stop you from getting involved.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re interested in a society, it means you already share something in common with the people there, so there\u2019s no need to worry about \u201cgetting a head start.\u201d Just relax, show up to the socials or activities, and you\u2019ll likely meet people you connect with. It\u2019s all about finding your people\u2014there\u2019s always time for that! This also apply to sports club, they are all available socially for total beginners. If you would like to explore new hobbies or interest, you can also try out and explore the sports club and meet some new people along the way.<\/p>\n Aside from joining a society, volunteering is another awesome way to meet new people. Volunteers usually have hearts of gold, so you\u2019ll probably connect with some really kind and lovely individuals.<\/p>\n\n
