How many mates have you made during freshers?

Socialising can be tough

Catching these fresh-faced first years off guard on a rare sunny afternoon in Owen’s Park, we caught up with this year’s freshers to find out how many mates they’ve made so far.

Nathan, History and Economics

“0.” (laughs)

Tom, Music

“I have made less than 20 so far.”

Jill, Politics

“Ten billion…and one.” (said in a Boston accent)

James, Biomedical Science

“I’ve made quite a lot of friends. Don’t know exactly though. Sorry!”

Dragos, International Business, Finance and Economics

“Quite a few I think.”

Hannah, Emily and Josie

Josie: “I don’t know, 24 maybe?”

Hannah: “25.”

Emily: “26, definitely.”

Alice, Geography

“I’d say around 20.”

Sherief, Management

“What like really close friends? Maybe 15.”

Ahmed, Aerospace Engineering

“It’s hard to say. It really depends on your definition of a friend really.”
