Zhang Yeju, a law student at China University of Political Science and Law was greeted by another student on his way to class. The problem was Zhang, 19, did not know the guy at all. 19岁的张宇杰（音译）就读于中国政法大学，在去上课的路上，有位同学跟他打招呼。可问题是，他根本不知道他是谁。

While they talked about the weather Zhang tried hard to recall the stranger’s name before the duo enter the same classroom.

当他们谈论天气时，张宇杰试图在两人走进教室之前回忆起这位陌生同学的名字。

"I felt a bit embarrassed when I chatted with him without knowing his name," said Zhang.

“当我们聊天而又不知道他名字的时候，我觉得有点尴尬。”张宇杰说。

According to Zhang this was not the first time he’s had a "stranger encounter" on campus.

张宇杰说在学校里这已不是他第一次邂逅“最熟悉的陌生人”了。

There are 60 people in his class, but Zhang knows the names of fewer than 30 of them after a year of study.

他所在的班里一共60人，但在度过一年的学习生活后，张宇杰认识的还不到30人。

高等教育咨询机构——麦可思人力资源数据公司的一项最新调查显示，约四成大学生承认自己的人际关系存在问题。

湖北大学社会学副教授张继涛注意到一个校园新趋势：学生的朋友圈变小，而所交的朋友则更为多元而独特。

"Having your life revolve around a small group of friends might have a negative impact on one’s future career after school," said Zhang to Chutian Metropolitan Daily.

张继涛在接受《楚天都市报》采访时表示：“以狭小的交际圈为生活中心，这对学生毕业后的前途有负面影响。”
