Cultivating Meaningful Friendships
|
Maintaining close friendships is incredibly important for your wellbeing. One study from the Journal of Social Psychological and Personality Science even found that having close, positive relationships can positively affect your physical health. However, making friends on campus is not always easy. Here is some advice from the University of Colorado Boulder.
- Stay in touch
- Be kind to yourself
- Ease your expectations
- Become a regular
- Don’t underestimate the power of small talk
- Try new approaches
Find ways to get involved at UChicago here.
