How do you balance staying connected to your home culture while integrating into UK life?

My situation:n

• I spend most of my social time with students from my home country because it is easier and more comfortable
• But I know this is limiting my UK experience and my professional network
• I do not want to lose my cultural identity but I also want to integrate more broadly

nnQuestions for others who have found the balance:n

• How did you deliberately broaden your social circle?
• Did you make a conscious decision or did it happen naturally?
• Do you ever feel you went too far in either direction?
