Do engineering students have time to meet friends outside their department?
Yes, it is possible to meet friends outside your department. However, the presence and amount of lectures, experiments, practical classes, and assignments vary by university, department, year, course choices, and time of year, so available time also varies. You may arrange to meet during free periods or weekends, or through clubs, but this depends on your timetable and time management. Check the prospective university’s official information for specific timetables.
