What was your experience making friends after moving to Australia for university?
Heyyy!! I’m planning to move to Australia for my bachelor’s as an international student, and I’ve been wondering what the social experience is actually like there.
I’ve heard that a lot of Australian students already have their own school friend groups, so I’m a little nervous about whether it’s hard to make close friends at university.
My_qualifications: currently in class 12
For people who moved to Australia for undergrad:
- Did you manage to make good friends?
- How long did it take?
- Were people open to new friendships?
- Did you mostly become friends with other international students or local students too?
I genuinely love having friends and being social, so the idea of me feeling alone in a new country scares me a bit 😭😭 I’d really appreciate hearing honest experiences.
