Knowing your classmates is not a big deal though sometimes, it can be challenging. You will enjoy your studies much more if you interact well with your classmates. Not all your classmates are going to be your friend nor should you treat them as friends but treat them all with respect as you might one way or another still need them. Friendship can still grow but be careful how you disclose your personal information to them because they could be careless about it. Do not force a friendship. Your classmates are remarkable people so get to know them. Try as much as you can to meet new people as you will not regret it. Don’t miss this great opportunity.

Question: what do I do if I feel uncomfortable with the person sitting next to me?

If you happen to be sitting next to somebody whom you feel very uncomfortable with or somebody you can’t stand at all, you can change your seat in a nice way.
