Your first weeks at UCD
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.
