Let's LSE about that: #4: Friendship
Episode 104, Mar 16, 2022, 10:00 AM
Welcome to the fourth episode of ‘Let’s LSE about that’!
Struggling with a problem that no-one has prepared you for? Facing something you’re expected to understand but have no idea? Generally feel you’ve been thrown in at the deep end and need a lifeline? You’re in the right place!
On this podcast we discuss common student issues and see if we can LSE about that! Every episode I interview a handful of students and talk to them about a specific student issue, discussing what they know and what they want to know.
From this we try to find the answers, using the input of an expert (or experts), hoping to get to the bottom of the issues no-one talks about enough!
Making friends at university is never easy, but you’re not alone! In this episode I talk to three freshers about their experience settling in and making friends at uni. From first day nerves, to finding your people, in this episode we discuss it all!
I also talk to two of LSE’s Peer Supporters, a student-led peer-to-peer mentoring scheme, about their experiences making friends at university and how you can reach out to them if you are struggling.
