Making Friends.

A realistic Guide to life at UCLan - written by students!


"Going out and making friends is one of the best parts of uni life, everyone will agree. I definitely have made the most of my time at uni but it has taken a lot of hard work in my final year to pull up my grades." - Ciara Palomino, Public Relations, 3rd year, age 21.

Making friends is made easier at university because most people will be new to the university and might not know anyone.  However, although you can meet people in your halls or on your course it can be difficult to meet people with the same interests as you.  This section will help you figure out how to get to know people and what do you with your friends once you have them.
