Your first weeks at ARU
The first fortnight is when most people are open to meeting someone new, and it closes quickly. Go to the events your students' union runs, say hello to the person next to you in a lecture, and exchange a number with anyone you click with.
If you commute, work or study part-time
Evening events are harder when you travel in. Choose daytime anchors: a society that meets at lunch, a regular study partner in the library, or a weekend club. Mature students and postgraduates often find that small, regular groups work better than big freshers' events.
