17 year old DD @ Edinburgh University is finding it hard, any others out there?

[LizzieMacQueen]

I'm asking on behalf of my DD who is struggling to find similar souls and is feeling left out of all the Fresher's week stuff that is on.

With the exception of one girl (who may be going home) she has not met any other Scottish 17 year olds in her accommodation or on her course.

And because she has no-one to hang around with this week she is convinced that she'll never make friends and will have a miserable 5 years ahead of her!

So without wanting to sound like a dating advert, do you know anyone in a similar position?

PM me for confidentiality if you prefer - I can then tell you a bit more about my DD.

Thanks.

Just a thought. .the irish students tend to be younger as well as their education system is similar to the Scottish one. They will generally be quite lost too being in a different country completely.
