Finn 7 five 11 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 If you want to meet people just ask someone from your course for a cigarette, then start chatting to them. They'll think you're doing it just to be polite and definitely not because you're a lonely gimp from the sticks. Good advice actually, just don't seem too...Like moochy, like you just want the ciggie. I've gone out alone a few times, but the thing is in Canberra I see someone I know, out at at least one club every single time. My recommendation is to go to a club with a backroom that's got a proper door so it's quieter and chill in there every so often and talk to people, I've had so many awesome conversations in the "Back rooms" they are honestly heaps of fun, everybody just starts chatting. Although if you go out alone, leave early, before 2 AM otherwise there is a good chance you'll get bashed, that's the worst thing about going out alone, weekend before last I ended up with stitches in my chin because I stayed out and my friends went home around 3:30, I got hit in the face inside the nightclub, bouncers even saw it. My mate got bashed by 3 guys in the toilet of a nightclub last weekend as well, so even if you stay in busy areas it can happen, so please be aware of that, leave early, talk to people, be well dressed.

unopescio Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 You live in Canberra finn? Creepy. Ive probably walked past you a bunch of times knowing this place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kippers Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 (edited) My advice would be to keep an open mind about your flatmates and the people you meet early on at university. Even if at first it may seem like you're poles apart in personality and interests you may find common ground.. This. When I first started Uni on the first night in halls, I random struck up conversation with the guy who just so happened to be standing to the left of my door when the 'knock around' came for our first ever Uni pre-drink session. Hung with him for a bit of the night but we didn't seem to have a whole lot in common. Few days later he came knocking seeing if I wanted to chill, I mentioned how I wanted to start watching 'How I Met Your Mother'. He said he's literally just started watching the first season a day or 2 ago. We started it from the beginning, spent the next few weeks chilling watching the first 4 seasons back to back and then boom instant best friend ever since. We found mutual likes for the same sports, taste in women etc... Some friendships seem totally random and may take a few days, as Max said, to find a common ground, but that's how they is. As for going out on your own. Who gives a sh*t, you'll be a Fresher at Uni. Everyone wants to be everyones friend in the first month or two.

Finn 7 five 11 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 You live in Canberra finn? Creepy. Ive probably walked past you a bunch of times knowing this place. Yeah haha, it's funny that. It's better that way too, I always wonder if people I walk past might be people i've encountered online. I'd rather not meet someone who's read any of the f*cked up/emotional sh*t I post on here under the anonymity of the internet though. It's a double edged sword, sure you can have heaps of fun here, but you can never really meet the people without it being weird I guess. Anyway on-topic: As said above, Uni is a great opportunity to meet people, in your first few weeks, try and be as outgoing as possible, just talk to people all the time about anything, because others will be out to make friends as well, do it before the circles start to kinda close.

Scott. Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 It wont be weird, if you are at uni you will meet people before you go out, especially if you are in halls or you meet people on the same course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TellEmRye Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 unless im on coke or really drunk I would never go to a nightclub. A quite pub crawl or an all nighter round London is more my thing. All nighter round London? are you insane bro? our city is freezing, nothing worse than when you come out of a club at 4am and just feel that typical English coldness slap you across the face. I'm usually too drunk to give a sh*t anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vercetti27 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 It is a bit rapey though, to go out on your own to a club. I see we've both made the same mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
