Social contact
Some students come to university along with an existing group of friends they knew from school, while others may know very few other students which can be isolating.
If you're keen to make friends new friends you could:
- Register for a Peer Networking Program
- Join SmoothStart to meet other first year students in a fun and relaxed way
- Join a uni sports club/society
- Read On Dit Magazine and find out what's happening on campus
- Join the Adelaide University Union and attend some of their regular events
- Join or create a tutorial group
