[Always *]

It can be hard to make close friends in university, especially at first. Don't let this discourage you because it sounds like people are talking to you and being friendly. You just need to take it to the next level (they might think you're unavailable, not shy).

You could also try to join a club or something, it's a good way to meet people and you can always sit quietly in a corner until your comfortable (I am a fan of corners and walls lol). I met a lot of my university friends through tutorials and clubs
