The Friend Zone
The Friend Zone presents an unforgettable evening of fun, laughter and the opportunity to meet your new lifelong friends!
This event has one clear objective: to give new students a chance to form lasting friendships and dive into the social scene with confidence.
Here's a sneak peek of what the evening has in store for you:
18:00 - It all begins with your arrival at the Union Cafe. Take a deep breath, step inside, and let the magic unfold.
18:30 - The clock starts ticking, and the fun begins! Each student will have the opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations by asking five thought-provoking questions. You'll have a delightful 10 minutes to get to know each person you meet.
19:10 - It's time to recharge and refuel during a refreshing 20-minute break. Grab a snack, mingle with fellow attendees, and prepare for the next round of connections.
19:30 - The excitement resumes! We'll mix up the groups, ensuring a dynamic and diverse experience for everyone. Get ready to ask five more intriguing questions and enjoy another 10-minute encounter.
20:10 - The night doesn't have to end with the speed dating sessions. If you're up for more bonding, we'll bring out exciting games to keep the connections alive. Who knows, you might discover a kindred spirit who shares your passion for board games or challenges your skills in a round of trivia.
Not sure what to ask? Don't worry we've got your back, for those who are bit less comfortable, we'll provide some prompts to get things moving.
