How many people from uni are you still friends with ? And how old are you?

[Kittencuddler]

only 4 here at late 40s but string friendships that have lasted over 2 decades so feel secure and see often

I'm 53. Still best friends with someone I met in my first week at uni, godparents to each other's sons, and we're in touch pretty much daily, despite living on opposite sides of the country now. I'm also very, very close with a friend I met during my PhD, and good friends/in regular touch with about half a dozen other people from my postgrad days, and with my old department's secretary who was brilliant.

I always felt I was a bit odd for not have a significant group of friends from undergraduate days. This has made me feel better!

Fb friends or real friends? Either 20ish or 1.5 depending.

It did help a bit, but i came off Facebook over 10 years ago, didn't really lose anyone i cared about. This year abandoned Instagram and while there a couple of people I need to make more of an effort with, most contact is individual or a few groups on What'sApp.

I think of myself as pretty isolated, antisocial and curmudgeonly, but seems like i might not be!

I’m in my 50s, live abroad, and am still friends with lots of people from my uni days - people who were at the same uni, plus friends I made through them, plus their partners. I see many of them every couple of years - I go to the UK or they come to me, or we go on holiday together. I’ve also met up with them in various locations when they’ve been in the US on holiday. DH is part of the same friendship groups.

I’m also in contact with lots of them via social media - we chat via Messenger, and meet up every 10 years or so.

I really treasure all those friendships. It’s one of the things I am grateful to social media for making easier.

1 and I’m 52 she’s my best friend

I am 48 and I have 8 friends from that era that I see regularly and I am in touch with probably 5 or 6 more who I see on a less regular basis.

ETA I am actually on my way to see 2 of them now plus our kids :)

A handful that I'm Facebook friends with but haven't seen them in 15+ years (left uni 25 years ago). I almost certainly wouldn't have any contact with them if it wasn't for social media. Tbh uni wasn't my happiest time and I'm fine with leaving it in the past.

My oldest friends are from secondary school.

1. I did Social work aged 35. Everyone lived at home in London. I'm early 50's now.

3 friends, 34 years later.

5 that I see regularly, but one of those I’m married to and one is my SIL.
2 that I see from time to time and exchange Christmas/birthday cards
2 more who are on Facebook

Edited to say I’m 69, and I met DH in my first term 51 years ago & we’ve been married 45 years.

I’m 50 and have zero friends from university. My ex husband also went to same uni but as our children are adults we no longer need to have much contact. I am terrible at maintaining friendships but in touch with 3 school friends still.

9, I’m 63

I’m 35 - none. I did go to a uni where I already lived, and stayed at home whilst attending lectures. A lot of people did the same but lived in the other direction so we just didn’t really stay in tough. Shame but I’m not too bothered!

One that we message each other and meet up, early 50s. Also go to university events and there's one other who's generally at those and we catch up. I also flat shared with a girl doing a Masters at LSE and went to a lot of her parties that year and we are still in touch. My university was very male dominated.

My neighbour in her 70s still meets up with 4 others from university, all female and unmarried but travelled to Asia together etc and we get invited to their parties. Its lovely they have each other.

About a dozen, scattered all over the world (which is handy when travelling). Mid-50s.

I’m really surprised at this thread. I’m still close to loads of my uni crew and so is DH. Regular WhatsApp group action, small and big meets, partners and kids all integrated. One is godfather to DS so they chat regularly too (mainly about fantasy football Tbf 😂)

I’m 46 DH is 51. I feel so, SO lucky to have them. Also close with one friend from my masters and three from school.

I’m pushing 60 and have loads of university friends. Maybe 8 I’d call close-another 12 I see very occasionally, but keep in touch online

Two plus my husband. 67.

I'm 60 and I'm still friends with at least 12 people from university, (plus married to another one!). I'll be meeting most of them this weekend, in fact.

I’m 43 and I’m very close friends with 5 others and probably have another 5 who I keep in touch with. I see the 5 close friends many times a year and we’re in constant contact. I’m also close friends with 3 school friends.

Oh and I forgot I am married to another university friend!!

University - 8 of us lived together for 3 years and we're still all friends

We still meet up sporadically but when we do it's like we're 21 again - no conversation is off the table and is so much more relaxed than with some of my good friends who I see much more regularly but are just different in personalities.

I'm late 40s so we're all 50 next year - how the hell did that happen?
Surely we only left University a few years ago...???!!!

None. I'm 41. I committed an act of poor judgement in my final year and, instead of calling me out on it, my entire friendship group unceremoniously dumped me. Bunch of bitches!

I’m 44 and still good friends with 4 of them! Still good friends with only 2 school friends
