How to Make New Friends at Your Campus Accommodation

Tip #1: Be near food, and new friends will come to you.

It's hard enough making new friends after leaving high school. The difficulty is doubled when you travel interstate (or internationally!) for further studies.

But it's not impossible! And seeing how everyone could use a primer on battling awkwardness and socialising with strangers, we turned to the experts at Campus Perth (where they balance student accommodation with study and R&R zones like "The Link" and "The Commons") for advice. There, we got some tips on how to make new friends from Rev (who left Melbourne behind to study finance in Western Australia) and Deepeika (who moved from India to get her Masters in Cyber Security).

One of their suggestions? Be near food, and friends will come to you.
