How can peer relations be improved amongst University students?

Answer

Ahhh yes, some proverbial little darlings that can look intelligent and in great stress going over something or other. I've gone to University and worked at a University and dated some University students. I found many of my dates couldn't lighten up and were generally anal retentive as far as kicking back and relaxing or ended up in an intense debate somewhere else rather than with me. I stopped dating University students and went outside of that realm and was much better off for it, yet one of my girlfriends met her husband in University. Then there were what we use to call 'bench warmers' who wasted their brains and partied it up. There seemed to be no middle ground. University is tough and it takes dedication and a lot of homework. Sometimes there aren't enough hours in a day and also many students aren't fortunate enough to have parents pay their tuition fees so may be working one or more jobs. I met a lot of nice people at University, but, I found it seemed important to many to keep flexing their gray matter to prove points. I believe in working hard and working hard at having fun to release tension.

Generally University students have a 'drinking hole' (a favorite pub) where they go so try going there to fit in. Some frat houses have parties and it's open to most so go. Be honest about your own personality and don't try to be something you aren't. Try to choose people in the same mind set as yourself whether you are an intense and serious person, or perhaps, it's good to mix with people that know how to have some fun. If one takes University seriously it certainly is intense so it's a must to take at least one day on the weekend to have some fun and relax. This in itself will bring the better side of you out.

There are generally groups who hang out together. 'People Study' and figure out what group you fit into and if you don't like a particular one or they don't want new members associating with them, then pick one person at a time that you feel comfortable with. Choose people that are taking the same courses you are. You'll have more in common.

You also don't have to stick to University students and can choose friends outside of University. It can be a relief and a good rush of fun. All brains and no fun make for a dull person.
