i'm in the U.S. and i feel lonely. my SO just relocated to another state for grad school, so i have to start from the ground up. i've been trying to study with a few classmates. if things go well, you get their number and make plans to hang out after exams. speaking of, maybe you guys have post-exam parties you can go to. if so, then make sure you attend those. you'll make friends there. good luck.

I have lived abroad a lot, and I can totally relate to feeling completely lonely. It is really hard, especially if you have any sort of language barrier. If I were you I would go to all the study groups and maybe try to organize one yourself. If you host it, especially if you host it at your house, you will instantly become a lot closer to the other people who come. But unfortunately it just does take some time. Chin up it will all work out!

You will, you just have to give it time. It's hard enough to move to a new city and start a new school, and I can't even imagine what it must be like to do that in Czechoslovakia! I think you should start by asking someone if they want to study with you or maybe try joining a student organization. Volunteering in a clinic is a good way to meet people too.

Humour and common interest. One of them you already have. So you have a subject to speak about and break the ice with. The humour shows people that they can have fun with you.

You're studying in Prague, right? Prague has to be one of the most beautiful cities in the world, I can't wait until I have the money to go back there again. Have you explored it at all? What about seing if you can get a group of classmates together and just walk around the city and do a bit of exploring on a weekend? I'm assuming you guys are all foreign students? But even if it's not, you can ask some of the native ones to show you around. You'll get to probably make some friends and have something to talk about with them when you see them afterwards, and you get to see the most amazing city in the world.

Prague has a lot of really smokin' hot women. Go meet some.
yeah prague is one of the most beautiful places on the earth and indeed, it's got some of the hottest chicks on the earth...but they're hard to meet coz of the language barrier...as everyone speaks in CZECH!!!...i guess that's the price i have to pay for studying in a foreign country. anyways thanks once again for the advice guys....i guess i'll just take my own pace and concentrate on the 1st yr first and then figure out the rest...

I'm assuming you study at Charles University, so you are in a 6 year program. Are you straight out of high school (18 year old)? Being away from your family in a foreign country for 6 years, where the people around you speak a foreign language, is something I can't imagine. Hopefully everything works out for you, but make sure you find someone to talk to about this in person ASAP. You don't want to have a breakdown and have to end your education there.
hey there, yes i'm attending the Charles First Faculty of Medicine in Prague. It's a 6 yr. course and i'm 18 years old. this is a completely new place for me and it's been quite tough with the language barrier acting in almost every sec. and the worst part is that the profs. are quite incomprehensible. i just hope i'll be able to deal with all the work-load. there's just so much to study and the profs. (some of them) really suck (coz they expect students to study on their own)
