Make new friends in Bath

Living the life of a student does not usually present many situations in which money is not an issue. For this reason, charitable, voluntary, unpaid work may not be welcomed with open arms. Before you modestly pat your wallet and dismiss the idea of working for free completely, consider the fact that working down in the old Oxfam shop may not pay for your dinner, but it may actually help you to meet someone who will pay for dinner for you.

Further still, if you're worried that working for free may turn out to be a perfect waste of time, then how about going to give blood? (Royal United Hospital, Combe Park, Bath BA1 3NG). It only takes a minute and if you're lucky you may make a likewise-minded friend while queuing up to be impaled, and have someone to stop you from hitting the floor when you pass out afterwards.

If you're generally a nice person, but can't face the thought of listlessly selling second hand saucers and paperback books, then perhaps trying a new sport is a more apt way for you to make new friends.

Taking a class at the Bath Sport Centre (North Parade Road) may not be the cheapest way of doing this, but at least you will be able to use a top notch gym. So even if you don't make any friends, entertaining yourself by trying to figure out how to use the fitness equipment is bound to serve as a good time killer. And asking that stranger for help may prove to be more socially rewarding that you expect.

Finally, if you classify yourself as incredibly extroverted, incredibly talented or moderately vain, then why not try yourself as a busker? Standing on Stall Street, especially when the weather is nice, is bound to make one or two people stop and stare. And when they ask 'what on earth are you're trying to play on that guitar?', a perfect ice-breaker-conversation is born...
