    Episode 20: Making Friends on Campus Part 2

    In this episode, we sit down with the same panel of current and graduated students from Part 1 to continue the conversation about making friends on campus—this time, with a focus on how the COVID-19 pandemic has reshaped social dynamics. Our panel reflects on how technology, especially phones and social media, plays a role in maintaining connections, and the new challenges students face when trying to meet people. They share honest thoughts about the fear of rejection, the awkwardness of putting yourself out there, and how loneliness can sometimes hold you back from making new friends. From small moments of connection to the bigger picture of post-pandemic campus life, this episode dives into what friendships look like now and how students are finding new ways to build connections.

    Episode 19: Making Friends on Campus Part 1

    In this episode, we are joined by a panel of current and graduated students as they share their experiences navigating friendships in post-secondary. Making friends on campus isn’t always as easy as pop culture makes it seem—while some students find their group right away, others take longer and may feel lonely in the process. Throughout the episode, our panel discusses the reality of campus friendships, including the impact of living in residence, the social dynamics of student-athletes, and the challenges commuters face in making connections. They also explore friendships that form for just a semester and what it means to build meaningful relationships in post-secondary.
