It isn't but erm is right, at least in the first year.

I think I said it in the past though, if you're asian, you do com/law/med and you went to selective school, chances are, you'll probably end up knowing half the people in your faculty anyway?
For the other people, just get to know a person who went to a selective school, and use their contacts to get ot know more people.

That's how I know most of my friends at uni. Friends of friends.

I know enough people nowadays... Now I can't be bothered wasting time talking to randoms anymore because I want to finish uni already.

It's not easy i guess for people who truly experienced it. I acquainted many people but finding friends seems harder. Shallow conversations happens for the first few seconds before lecture/tute starts, then maybe again during 10min break if any, when lecture is over, everyone go their own way.
Everyone I met so far seem to have high school networks already, or befriended strangers who have similar timetable or succeeded during o-week.

heh, i thought about posting my pic in the photos thread a couple of times, but then realised two things:
1. people don't seem to appreciate newbies posting pics in the pics thread unless the newbie is hot.
2. posting a photo would render my username invalid ;)

Yeah :(

I know what you mean about the whole acquaintences / friends thing. it is a lot easier if you're doing a course that involves labs; i would say that i've made two friends at uni so far, both met either during labs or because of labs. i have had LOTS of the 'shallow conversations' you mentioned with aquaintences.

(actually, something freaky happened to me - this guy in my course struck up an actual proper conversation (as opposed to a shallow pre-lecture conversation) with me on my very first day at uni, and I started thinking "oh, ok...my first 'friend' at uni, cool", and then I never ever saw him again. :confused: seriously he just disappeared. WEIRD.)
