Hi @crice ,
First of all, what an amazing achievement moving overseas for uni, that shows real courage to be able to leave the familiarity of your home country and endeavour onto something new!
Navigating friendships, especially new ones in a brand-new environment can be really challenging! It sounds frustrating having people bail on plans, I can relate to this frustration however I found oftentimes that new friends may suffer from a degree of social anxiety or they were dealing with personal issues that they weren't comfortable sharing.
Whatever the reason, it is also important that you prioritise yourself and meet your own needs when you feel that people may not be contributing as wholeheartedly as you. Perhaps you could meet like-minded people on campus by joining groups or sporting teams - whatever you may be into! Sometimes it's hard to jell with people in uni classes because it's a more serious environment and often revolves around the topic of uni work and assignments.
I hope this helped in some way and I wish you the best of luck completing your third year of uni 🙂
