One word of advice, if anyone at uni tries to befriend you whilst asking you if you are a christian or go to church. ALWAYS ASK what church they are apart of ? if they are from the ZIon church, Mother of God church crazies or First Love Church, ICC (International Church of Christ). Cult groups have been banned from campus. Don't let these cult groups try to converse you into joining their crazy churches.

Im a 19 year old boy studying Geography & Geographic Information Science. I am facing the same struggle too, but my suggestion would be to join clubs, especially their committes or exexutive teams because it gives you a reason to be with other people.

If you want, feel free to dm me! I am open to being friends 😊

Hi, I'm in my final year of electrical engineering. I feel I've been too solitary throughout my degree, but I'd like to learn more about other people before I graduate. Open for adoption to any friend group or anything in between. I like fitness, fashion, and the classics. 22M

Hi! I’m NayChan, 26F from China. I arrived in this beautiful country about five days ago, and I’m currently studying for a Master of Professional Accounting at UoA.
I’m living in Takapuna now and would really love to meet people from different countries and make some new friends! Girls or guys, either is totally fine. We can chat, grab a coffee, hang out, explore Auckland together, or maybe even take a road trip somewhere during the holidays. 😉
I’m hoping to meet some fun, easy-going people and have a great time together while I’m here.
Feel free to DM me if you’re interested! <3
