OK, first and foremost, the first week in St Andrews can either set you up with a social group for the rest of your time here or, if you're more adventurous, start you on your way towards knowing everyone and gaining total world domination... ahem... sorry...
Anyway, just because you'll be associating with so many people from your home country, it doesn't mean you'll end up with no friends from elsewhere! After all, being British (and having so many British students about) hasn't stopped me having friends from Sweden, Ireland, the States, Brazil, Italy and so on... The number of overseas students we have in St A's, despite many people's complaints about the subject, can only be a good thing, I think...
