Hey, Just wondering is anyone not really enjoying uni? I'm not really i'm really homesick i miss my friends family an bf so much at the moment i come home for weekends as i only live an hour away which isnt too bad. But i just get really bored and i suppose thats when i start thinking of home, and i havent made any friends here either which is kind of worring as this is now my 3rd week. In a way i know i dont make a huge effort with friends as i have great friends at home so i can be lazy and i find it quiet hard to be myself with new people anyway as i'm quiet shy really. I'm just finding it hard at the moment i just wondered if i'm the only one feeling like this??? Does anyone else feel really lonley like me?

try not to worry too much, its still early days yet.
Have a lecture at 9am tomorrow, followed by 3 potential timeslots for tutorials. Been told to check the VLE for my tutorial group, except I can't get onto it. And the only person from the uni I have a contact number for, has their phone off.
So I started off the day in a shit mood, and it has gotten so much worse. If I knew what I was fucking doing.. :banghead:
Do try not to go home every weekend, the more you do it the harder it will be to spend weekends at uni and meet people etc.
Try joining some random clubs, frisbee is a good one, or an informal choir and trawl those til you find one you like.
:yes: I think it's easy to imagine that you're the only one, but as Scary says, it's really not uncommon - but that's not for a minute to say things won't get better. Have a look at this article on homesickness at uni
Try and take small steps and give yourself time to adjust. On the other side of the coin there are quite a few people here in TheSite community who have left uni recently and are finding that re-adjustment back to their friends 'at home' equally as tough.
I hope things start to look up for you soon.
Take care
Having said that i quickly realised what I lost and called in favours and twisted arms to get back to uni asap.
This was without doubt the best decission I ever made. Im now finished uni, had the best time and meet some great mates that I will be mates with for life.
It just takes time to settle in, dont give up, as Im sure you will regret it.

in my 1st and 2nd years at uni i lived in the same house and i was a bit bored - i lived with 3 other people. i now live with 13 other people and it's ace, i love it. there's always something going on.
Not everybody makes friend real easily, I'm like that myself, but you've got to keep at it. I've been really bad with going out and socialising but I've gotten to know people through assignments and such.
