Friends Abroad
Hi Guys!!!
I am a foreign student in France. I want to make lots of friends and not feel lonely. Got any tips?

Nice to meet you here in the forum CeceLawyer!
Studying abroad can make one feel lonely as many things might be different. Have you given any thought to joining clubs or associations centered around your hobbies?
Meeting other people in your physical life who have similar interests can help to feel more connected and also offer the opportunity to make friends.

May I ask what you are studying?
Those are great ideas @amiablepeace77
Study groups can be amazing as well as student groups centred around your hobbies and perhaps even where you are originally from if they have those. We are glad you reached out here at 7 Cups, you're not alone here.

I think going out and making new friends really helps. Networking with like minded individuals is also a great way to step out, get out of your comfort zone and expand your horizon thereby, seeking new opportunities both in personal and professional life.
