Top 4 Online Friendship Sites Sydney
Are you looking to get out there and meet new people? We have you sorted with our list of the top 4 online friendship sites in Sydney.
There are so many benefits that come from studying in Australia. Our English and VET courses here at SELC Education not only offer pathways into other courses, but they are a great way to experience life here in Sydney.
Making New Friends
Coming out to a new city on your own to work or live is no easy task, especially when home is so far away. It is so important to make new friends and meet others so you can truly experience Australian life firsthand, rather than observing it from up close.
While it can be all too tempting to stay in your close-knit shell of International friends, this isn’t a great way to immerse yourself in a new culture. That’s why it is important to branch out and find other ways to meet new friends and gain new experiences.
Here are some top websites for meeting new friends in Sydney.
Top 4 Online Friendship Sites Sydney
1. We3 App
It’s match making for friends and it’s a great way to meet new people. Started in America, there are 8 different levels of testing when it comes to ‘matching’ you with others. They ask about your personality, your interests, political beliefs, hobbies and more, and use this information to find you some friends. The app name is We3, as they set you up for meetings with three people. The idea is to avoid any awkwardness that comes from a one-on-one friend date with a stranger to have you feeling comfortable and ready to chat.
2. Meetup
The great thing about Meetup is that there are groups for everything. Even better, you can also create your own group! It’s that easy. Whether you are interested in running, salsa dancing or drinking, there’s a group for that, and if not, you can start your own. You can find people to explore Sydney with you, test out new restaurants or head to a movie. It’s really easy to get started and a great way to meet people.
3. Companions
The nature of this site is a lot more direct. You add your own profile and then can go and check out the profiles of others and private message them. It is set up more like a dating site, for making friends, and is completely free. You can search by age, gender and location to find people near you and then have a read of their profile to see if you think you’ll click. It’s like shopping for friends online!
4. Friendly App
New to the scene, Friendly is currently only available in Sydney, making it perfect for you to dive in and road test. You can set up your own profile, make connections, and let others around you know you are keen to meet up for a coffee. You get matched with others on the platform and can strike up a conversation before deciding to meet up. It’s fun, it’s casual and it’s a great way to meet new people.
No matter which one appeals to you, jump on and give it a go. It’s so important to have an active social life and to get out and about while studying. One of the best ways to practise your English is to get out there and speak to Australians. By immersing yourself in the environment, you will pick things up much faster and have so much fun in the process. It’s a win, win.
