Lessons were easy, I made friends very quickly, invited to a big party in the first two weeks.

I would avoid jumping straight into a friendship group, mingle around and talk to lots of people. Lots of groups seemed to form in the first month, only for people to realize that they didn't like the people they were with.

I stayed on at the sixth form at my school so for me it wasn't much different. The first few weeks were getting introduced to the subjects and there were quite a few swaps in lessons e.g. people dropping the subject, people starting the subject. Most people were in groups/had friends by the end of the first week or two. In those few weeks it was hard to tell if the subjects were easier or harder...in fact I can't even remember. But what I do remember was that I wasn't too happy about getting homework on the first day.
