Abstract	In a competitive sector where the big issues of recruitment, reputation and financial stability are at the forefront of many universities' priorities, it is sometimes easy to overlook seemingly small issues that can nevertheless cause significant harm to both the institution and the individual. Students often begin their higher education journey with an expectation that they will make friends for life, and indeed they are sold this idea by the images we portray. However, many find themselves suffering with feelings of loneliness and perceived isolation, and this can have an adverse effect not just on their own wellbeing but on the health of the university they have joined. There are several ways in which universities can tackle this issue proactively. Institutions can expect to see far-reaching benefits by nurturing student friendships and helping these to flourish from Welcome Week onwards. (As Provided).
