Almost two-thirds of overseas students studying in the UK have few or no British friends, according to a survey among 5,000 overseas students, Britain's Guardian newspaper reported last week.

The survey was carried out by the British Council, the council for international education, and Universities UK, an organization supporting the work of all the country's universities.

The survey revealed only 7 percent of the students said most of their friends were from the UK; 32 percent said they had a mixture of UK and international student friends; and 59 percent said their only friends were international.

Some student leaders say one reason fox' the trend is that overseas students are dedicate to their courses instead of their social lives.

In addition, many foreign students weren't interested in the pub-centered drinking culture on British campuses, according to Will MacFarlane, student union general secretary of the London School of Economies. This prevented some students who didn't pay regular trips to pubs from making new friends.

Some students think that MacFarlane's explanation is true.

"I have only one year to adapt to the new all-English environment and dealing with a full study workload. The time is so limited that I have little time to make friends with foreign students." Said one Peking University grad student who is at Oxford University.

She also admitted that an important reason for the lack of interaction is that Chinese students are usually shy, and don't take the initiative to make new friends.

MacFarlane also came forward with some suggestions on how to improve the situation. "It may be helpful if we can provide a cultural shift in university activities away from the drinking culture, and provide more activities for more groups," he said.
