Your first weeks at Cardiff University

Almost everyone around you is also trying to meet people, even if they look settled. Be the one who suggests a coffee after a lecture, and keep the plan small: one drink, one hour.

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.
