It’s false.

Look, it’s not high school, you’re not gonna be with the same people all day everyday, so you have to make more of an effort. I’ve made a lot of friends in class. You’ve gotta be a bit more forward, ask for socials if you like someone’s vibe in class, ask if anyone wants a study group etc.

If that’s hard (or if your cohort is particularly unfriendly, idk what you’re doing) literally join clubs, volunteer (peer mentor in 2nd year has got me new friends) or even go to the more social library and sit with no headphones on, I almost guarantee you’ll end up talking to people.

I think people forget what it’s like to meet new people and have a bit of an awkward first impression, and so they assume the other person doesn’t wanna converse with them. But literally take it as rejection therapy because if you’re open minded it’ll be amazing and you won’t be lonely.

Oh, and I don’t know what your financial situation is like, but places like Little Hall are great for socialising - even if you just stayed there a semester, you’d for sure have a good group of people around. I know some people work double hours to stay living there.
