How do I make new friends on campus?
Developing new friendships is one of the many advantages of studying in Australia. Whether
during lectures and tutorials, at faculty functions or more casual events, there are numerous
opportunities to extend your friendship group. Many other students will be in the same
situation as you and will happily strike up a conversation. Joining clubs and societies on
campus is an effective method for making friends with similar interests, passions and/or
background as you. Overall, just being friendly, approachable and looking confident (even
when you don’t feel like you are) will help you make new friends in no time.
