How do students make friends if they do not join clubs?
Students can make friends without joining a club through group work in classes or seminars, orientation programs, campus events, part-time jobs, or volunteering. They can also start conversations with nearby classmates or use shared assignments and interests as an opening for interaction.
Key points
- Class or seminar group work can provide regular opportunities to talk with the same people.
- Orientation programs, campus events, and volunteering can offer additional opportunities to meet others.
- Greeting classmates and asking about assignments or shared interests can make it easier to begin a relationship.
Things to check
- Available events and activities, and how easy it is to make friends, vary by university, faculty, year, and individual circumstances, so students should check the university’s official information for details.
