I’ve just entered my first year of university and im really struggling. It’s only been a couple of weeks but I still haven’t adjusted to moving to a new city away from my family and friends. The school system at uni is also really different from sixth form and the lack of structure is really affecting me.

On top of this I’ve really struggled to find friends who I actually connect with. I’ve tried going to society events but it feels like everyone there has already made a group and aren’t looking for anymore friends. I have a few acquaintances in my course but we don’t really have a lot in common. Whenever I socialise, I feel like people can tell that there’s something wrong with me and some people have been unfriendly which has really affected my confidence.

Is this feeling normal? Does anyone have recommendations I’m not really sure what else to do

I’m entering my first year of university at LSE and I had already booked student accommodation with LSE at Sidney Webb. I’ve now received an offer for a private accommodation though for £3000 less than the accom I’ve booked. I don’t know which one to go for because I feel like I’ll make more friends if I stay with the LSE accomodation. However, the private one is much nicer and costs less and I would be staying with people from other London unis. The reviews for Sidney Webb also aren’t that great.

Both accommodations are approximately a 30 minute bus journey.

Does anyone have any recommendations? I only have a few days to decide

Like the title says, I had my first ASD assessment yesterday at what was supposed to be 3pm. I joined the call 5 minutes early to make sure everything was working fine, which it was. I waited for over half an hour and no one ever joined the call. I tried switching my WiFi off to see if it was an internet problem. I went off the call and tried again numerous times and no one ever joined the call.

After over half an hour of waiting I decided to just give up on the appointment because I had expected it to only last around 2 hours and had something else planned for later in the day. I emailed hh minds explaining the situation but have so far received no response.

I tried to call as well but the wait was too long and as I said I had something planned for later in the day.

I’m planning on calling again today. Has something similar happened to anyone else? If so what should i have done.
