The "I'm so excited for Uni that I might explode!" thread

For anyone going to uni in september, I've written a couple of guides to freshers week and to living in student accommodation that you guys might find useful.

Thanks a lot for that, it was a nice read.

Well I'd highly recommend Cali ( not being bias because I live in Glasgow or anything!)

Oh really? What do you think makes it so appealing?

I remember when I was super excited to be at uni too. Now I'm here currently sitting in my room in halls and 1st year's almost over.

Has it lived up to your expectations?

Well I'm not here to ruin your excitement or anything
But my expectations for uni weren't low or high really, it was more that I was going to start a new part of my life..

First weeks in you are really excited how you are now your own boss lol but months in, especially when there isn't much to do except work.. it has become 'meh, it's alright'. But make sure you join societies! If not for them, I would be dead bored.

It just seems to be really starting to grow and develop as a University in tersm of its reputation lately. I really like how it has a different feel from many other unis that I had applied to (glasgow, edinburgh...) As it has a really fresh approach to student life which I've noticed on a good couple of visits there

Sounds like a good recommendation to me! I'm almost set on it, just the slight worry about not being able to find a job now (Seen as I'm not from Glasgow!)

I've accepted my unconditional offer from Glasgow University to study Psychology recently and now the excitement of starting Uni has just smacked right into me. I know I accepted my offer early, but all 3 of my "realistic" Universities in terms of location had all got back to me and since I was about 12 I've dreamed about going to Glasgow. It's just everything about it, the course itself, the Uni's architecture, location and the people. I live in Glasgow and just knowing that I'll finally be able to fully enjoy the student side of the city as well, makes me so happy!

I'll be living at home for University, because I stay within travelling distance, but the only thing that upsets me is that I might not make friends as easily as people who live in halls. But I won't let that stop me of course!

So, for anyone that has received an offer from a Uni they're really considering/ already accepted or who is just so buzzing for University in general, post here and be happy!
