meeting people in uni [HELP]

[Kyle]

Biomed is a great course, there are lots of students taking it lately. You'll have lectures in 1 building (Dorothy Hodgkins I would expect) and labs in the life sciences buildin opposite. Easy enough to find. Freshers and sports fairs are on today from 10-4 and you can sign up to societies all week. Just head to the campus and mill around in the union and sports hall, even if to don't meet anyone straight away there's free pizza and people handing out stuff so no excuse not to go. Yeah the campus can get confusing but luckily there are maps like everywhere so you'll be grand.

As for meeting people in general , there are flirt nights ever Wednesday that aren't awkward to go alone to because so many do, there's a chapel that's always got people in if you're into that sort of thing, there's a 24hr library if you want to befriend Asians. Languages are awesome for meeting like minded people so take one if you can, although I think the biomed timetable is quite rigid In the first year. Most people meet others through sports and societies if not in their seminars though, so go down and get involved.

It's daunting for any new student, others just have the luxury of hall mates to fall back on. You'll find people on your course and you'll go on socials as eventually you'll have more friends than you bargained for and be wishing you could have some peace.

you see I got more information from you than I did from the staff! Thank you so much, I'm definitely looking at the sports fairs today after my lectures. Think most of my lectures are in Huxley or something but I'm getting there earlier to have a look around the campus and familiarise myself with it a bit more. Thanks again!

Is a society just like a group or club? :rolleyes:

i think so because there is an Asian society but I don't think I qualify

Lmao the idea is that anyone could join though!

I probably would be the only non-Asian their though

but today was a good day, met a girl in one of the lectures and then met another girl in my second lecture who is on my course (she is commuting too but lives very close) and we exchanged numbers #winning
