I am comming to Melbourne as international student but I don't know any body there how can I've friends?

Question

How can I've friends there how I'll b active socially before going there are there any social websites like orkut?

Answer 1

The best way to make friends in melbourne, is to join a local sports club like an aussie rules footy club or a criket club!

Answer 2

Every school or institution  that teaches international students tends to teach fairly large numbers of them. As soon as you begin your course, you'll meet the other students and will soon have plenty of friends to go out with. It won't take long after that to meet new people from outside the school circle.

Melbourne is a great city to live in and there are thousands of international students already there. Be friendly and not too shy and you'll be fine.

Answer 3

I agree with Ozmaniac that you'll make friends with your fellow students most easily.  This site may help too:  http://www.meetup.com/cities/au/melbourn...  You join whichever groups interest you, or start up a new group, and arrange outings with them.

Also the ISA (International Students' Association) has a chapter at each university which you can join.  They hold social and other events which you could attend.  Here's a  link to the La Trobe Uni chapter:  http://www.latrobe.edu.au/guild/cae/isa....

Good luck!

Hey, if you are outgoing and yourself you should have no problem getting to know people. But more specifically, if you know how to surf or would like to learn, there are some great surfing spots around there. Also, Melbourne has a great night life. Just get out there and dont be afraid to talk to people and make friends. Good luck and have fun!
