Lonley at Uni

I am at university in Durham. I have joined loads of societies, met loads of people and tried really hard. I just haven't clicked with anyone, I am really really lonley. I went to see a counsellor and they didn't seem to take my problem seriously, they told me to mix more. I have tried, I go to society bar crawls etc but people seem to not want to talk to me. Anyone got any suggestions?

I joined the sociology, history, alternative music and rock society, and I go to aerobics once a week too. You'd think this would be enough...!
Speaking as a student, that is a hard thing to come to terms with.
you could join 800,000000,0000,000,000 societies and not change the above fact.
it is not your fault if you cannot find lots of nice student chums. there are not man nice students.
Why not try joining something community based in your local town (mbe charity work/church/musical) and step away from the limits of student society. Once I figured that out, and started spending time with real people rather than self centred navel gazing brats, I have found my university education and social life much more fun.

In my experience, you will have to work very hard to resist wankerdom, but it is possible to do so. I was in a real pissed off mood last night, so I might have been a little harsh. THere are nice people in university, I'm sure. JUst don't be surprised if it takes you a while to find them, that's all I'm saying.
I know you said that humerously, but seriously, loads of my friends have transformed into dickheads since uni began. I think just to fit in.
I am thinking of writing a book
"how to avoid wankerdom in wankerland"
unfortunatly, my method, thus far, just involves having nervous breakdowns and dropping out, so I don't think it will be a best seller!

Do they just pretend to be friends with evryone or what?
And the ones that stole a smelly old sofa which now sits outside the front door to my halls deserve instant death. As do the tossers who decided to serenade my neighbour with "my girl" at 4 in the morning.
The ones that are tossers are the immature ones who have never lived away from mummy and daddy and can't hold their drink.
Can't wait to go back :-(
