Meeting new people is something that will happen throughout your life but this will be on a much larger scale at university. I met my coursemates who are likely to have similar academic interests to me and we are in the same classes. If you join new societies or sports clubs this will give me a new community of people who also share an enthusiasm for your hobbies! On top of this, if I move into halls of residence, I will have new flatmates and neighbours who can soon become a new university family. Soon enough you will find it weird to think of a time when you did not have these great people in your life.
