There is nothing wrong with being independent but sometimes everyone needs a good friend, especially if you are moving away from home for the first time. At times like these it is only natural to feel lonely sometimes when you are separated from friends, family and familiar places.

Often the best way to combat these feelings and help you to settle in is by meeting new people. Be friendly, smile, join in social activities on offer and try something new!
