Are university friends for life?

You can’t always know for sure if someone is a lifelong friend, but there are signs to look for. Lifelong friends are those who are there for you through thick and thin, who support and understand you, and with whom you can be yourself. It’s about mutual trust, shared values, and a deep connection that withstands the test of time. :handshake:

Those long midnight chats that get super deep and you start talking about your problems and just let it all out, I think of it as therapy for free. If you feel comfortable having those late night therapy session with them, I think you’re more likely to be life long friends.

My uni friends have been there for me through so much and we have lived so many experiences together. I think that creates a bond for life!

That’s a good question. University friends can turn into lifelong pals for some, but life often takes people in different directions. It’s cool when they stick around, but totally normal if you drift apart after graduation. Just enjoy the time you have together!

When you can pick up right where you left off, talking about anything and everything, even after weeks of not speaking. Reaching out feels like you’ve been in constant conversation, and everything just falls back into the normal rhythm—that’s when I know it’s a real, lifelong friend.

I think uni friends can be for life only if both parties put effort in maintaining the friendship. After uni people take different paths, we are not the same people we were at uni. We become older and evidently change our views and likes. I think keeping in touch is key to maintain a good friendship. Now a days we feel like just because we have each other’s socials we know how our friends are doing, but it’s absolutely not like that. Also, we can have so much pride to be the first ones to text, hoping that the others will text first but people are too busy with their life, sometimes you have to be the first one to text because otherwise there won’t be any communication between you. If you put effort into wanting to see or talk to them and they do too, thats a sign that your friendship is healthy and strong.
