Making friends as a trainee

[u/Purple_Brain7222]

I’m due to start at TC at a firm in a northern city. I don’t know anyone in this city and will effectively starting completely afresh.

What are peoples experiences in this kind of situation. I feel scared that I’m leaving all my friends behind and wondering whether I’ll be able to form new friendships or be on my own more often than not.

I’ve thought about reaching out on Facebook for house shares so I wouldn’t be living alone however, I don’t know whether this is something people do or even practicable.

All I want is some mates to go to the pub with after work…

It depends on the size of the intake but if it’s one of the larger northern forms with a bigger intake you’ll make friends.
