🎓 Just started university? Here’s some advice you’ll want to know now…

First year is full of new experiences, new people and plenty to figure out. But who better to share some advice than someone who’s just finished their second year?

Student content creator, Ruvimbo, shares 3 things she’s learned along the way:

✨ Think ahead – interested in work experience, a placement year or studying abroad? Start researching your options early.

📚 Stay on top of your work – university can get busy quickly, so finding a routine that works for you now will make life much easier later.

💛 Make the most of your time with friends – get involved, make memories and enjoy the experience. You’ll look back on these moments!

Arrivals Weekend starts... TODAY! 🥳🏠

Not sure what to expect? Student content creator, Vidhya, is here to give you the lowdown on what Arrivals Weekend is all about. 👀

And remember, if it all feels a little overwhelming at first, that’s completely normal. You’re meeting loads of new people, settling into a new home and probably trying to remember where you left your student ID card. 😭

Take it one day at a time, put yourself out there when you feel ready, and don’t put pressure on yourself to find your people straight away. You’ve got the whole of first year to make friends, find your community and make yourself at home. 🫶

You’ve got this! 💙
