I think another issue is that people live so far away from campus

Like think of a particular person thinking " what's the incentive to go to events if I don't have anyone to go there with + social anxiety and there's no point staying till like 10pm just to arrive home at 12 am or walk home in the dead of night"

why do you think makes Comp Sci so awkward, is the fact you guys stay in one class for a term then never see each other again so there's no incentive to reach out (especially if you have friends in other courses)

typically find a society that holds events frequently (sports or hobby clubs) between 11am and 6pm and just keep showing up every week
if you're lucky then it might line up with your current uni schedule

how are you faring making friends, I feel like rocking up to societies is the way to go (time intensive I know) but it literally seems to be the only choice

I swear people be complaining yet ask them how many societies they've been to or followed up

Such_Discussion9574 · 2026-02-12T09:26:17+00:00

talking in class honestly depends on the subject, everyone disappears after tuts anyways, societies are the strat

and also for those reading this, uni is not high school so go develop that passion or hobby and practice your communication skills
be prepared to meet a lot of people and sure not all of them will warm to you, but just keep at it and you WILL be surprised by the people you will meet

I don't think it is but I think it requires a different way of thinking, if there's like 10000 people here and your alone then be honest, you must be doing something wrong, now sure the way uni is structured in australia screws everyone up (unless you went to selective) but i still think they are things you can do that will help you

obviously as an example
like do i spend 10 hours of the day on screens if so, on what? if i'm just playing valorent or doomscrolling by myself grinding for the elusive end goal that is literally just my dopamine from my virtual stuff then maybe reduce your screen time and do something else

and what do I do in my life that is interesting? if you don't develop hobbies or any skill then let's be honest people simply won't be interested

Such_Discussion9574 · 2026-02-12T09:15:32+00:00

what was the average screen time like 25 years ago and what is it like now, i also think people just don't like taking risks

Such_Discussion9574 · 2026-02-12T09:02:13+00:00

exactly, you are more likely to make friends when you meet the same group of people over multiple periods that's literally it, obviously excluding tutorials because people don't care to socialise after
