Only some gym, and 2-3 restaurants. It’s a small town in middle of Europe. I have to drive about 100km to university by train every weekend because I study part-time.
But you are going to university. That is a HUGE opportunity to make connections. See if there are any clubs or activities you could be a part of. Try to give some things a try, even if you’re only sort of sure whether you will like it. Make small talk with your peers! It doesn’t take much to get friendships going when you have regular proximity to people and find some that share your interests.
Yes sometimes I try to talk with someone, sometimes it’s enforced by teachers when do we have to finish group work.
Meeting people in university is ok but I still feel like my age is a hindrance. I’m 27yo when my groupmates are all in their early 20s. I feel old to them, especially when it comes to women. I have a few people I talk to when I’m at university, but still, I only talk to them at university.
I found university quite social, but that varies from campus to campus. That said, after your part time classes, hang back at the university and see if there are any social goings-on. You’ll get more bang for your 100km trip.
If you’re able to, anyway.
Can’t offer much on small town stuff, that’s outside my experience
