Uni is full of opportunities to meet people — but knowing where to start isn’t always easy. Our “Meeting people” guides share practical ways to break the ice, join groups, and build connections beyond your course. We cover events, societies, volunteering, and even small day-to-day ways to get chatting to new faces. There’s also advice for shy or introverted students on how to push your comfort zone gently. From making your first friend to expanding your whole circle, these tips help you create a fun, supportive social life at uni.
