Your first weeks at DMU
Do not wait for a perfect friend group to appear. Join two or three things in week one, keep the ones you enjoy, and drop the rest in week four.
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.
