Lonliness won't last forever.

[Multi-Elis]

I just have a question, do any of you feel lonely at Uni? I read a book that claimed that most people feel lonely when they start College. I find that hard to believe.

But I was quite disillusioned when I went to university. This past year has been really hard in this sense. I thought Uni would be a great place to make friends and have fun, but it seems like most people just made their own group of friends and were satisfied with it. And I am part-foreigner in my University, so I guess it was harder for me than others.
But does loneliness haunt anybody else here when they are in University? Are there any other people here who have experienced the loneliness that comes from being a foreigner and not knowing how to play by social rules? How long does this normally last?

I just finished two semesters, and I feel as if people have only started to be nice and friendly to me this past week.

I've struggled with loneliness big time. You're certainly not alone at all there (ironic as that may seem).
And one thing I've found is that it helps to be proactive when loneliness strikes. I have found out that people can't tell I need friends on their own. I need to go out and find places to meet folks and be around others.
That helps me nowawdays.
