What drugs have you tried?
University is often the first time many students experiment with substances. The most common ones are marijuana, alcohol, and tobacco, with most students avoiding harder drugs. If you choose to explore, it's important to prioritize safety — always make sure you're in a safe environment and looking out for your well-being.
Have you ever had sexual intercourse?
For many students, university is the first opportunity to explore their sexuality, as they gain more independence and start living on their own or with friends. Without the restrictions of curfews or parental oversight, this newfound freedom often leads to discovering new relationships and aspects of their identity. It's important to go at your own pace and only take steps you're ready for — there's no rush in figuring it all out.
If so, in which term did you first have sexual intercourse?
For most students, the experience of losing their virginity happens either before university or during their third year. It's a deeply personal journey, and everyone's timeline is unique. What's most important is feeling comfortable with your own choices and ensuring you're in a safe and consensual environment.

1) Be someone of value 2) Make friends first 3) Idk get lucky, I haven't got this far
Be someone who you would want to be with
Don't fall for red pill bullshit - just be normal
Don't get into one just because you think that's what is expected of you. Wait until you really feel like you'd be missing out if you didn't end up with this person.
Don't need to actively look for a relationship. Find a way to make yourself happy without a relationship, that happiness will show and could result in a relationship forming anyway. Also, always listen to things people have to say, it goes a long way.
Dont get stuck with the wrong person becuase of fear, look for the one
Don't spend too much time thinking about it, just let relationships happen naturally.
Easier than finding a job in this economy
Focus on you
Go have some fun! You'll find a relationship where you least expect it.
It sounds cheesy, but focusing on bettering yourself and maintaining your friendships. Go out and meet people with the intention on finding people you click with and there is a chance it grows into something else!
Just be yourself, except unless you're a weird asshole. Then be what a normally adjusted person would be.
Keep looking
Love yourself first
What kind of partner do you want to be? What kind of partner are you looking for? Work on yourself till you can be the kind of partner you want to be and be both reasonable and flexible in your criteria for others. If you want something serious, be patient, be kind, be respectful, be the kind of person you'd want your kids to bring home.
What's meant to be is meant to be
be kind, work on yourself, learn to love yourself first, and communicate well
be sure of what you want
check your gender. sometimes it can be wrong and that can seriously hamper your ability to be in a relationship.
just go shoot your shot (but in a comfortable and consensual way). be friends with them, and if it'll happen, it'll happen.
