How to make friends at university during a pandemic

I spent my first month at university living in a flat with four other students. At the time, my days consisted of trying to avoid going back to the flat and trying every single meal deal that you can imagine.

This was mainly because I didn’t know anything about my flatmates and was too scared to actually try to get to know them.

As time went on, everything started to get easier, but I definitely think getting to know my flatmates and coursemates before or quickly after moving in would have helped a lot.
