In this episode of Successful Student Transitions, Louise and Elizabeth cut through the friendship frenzy with five practical, reassuring tips to help you navigate those crucial early weeks. They'll help you understand why making friends feels so challenging right now, remind you of the skills you already have (yes, you really do!), and give you concrete actions to take.

Whether you're in your first weeks or nearing reading week, this episode offers a realistic, compassionate guide to building the friendships that will carry you through university—and maybe even become lifelong connections. Because here's the truth: everyone's finding this challenging, and that's exactly why being the one to say "hi" makes all the difference.
