I went to an information session last week although it wasn't course specific it was very useful, was shown main building we will be in which was different to the one I thought, gave me reassurance that we only do 3 modules per semester where as me trying to get lots of info had actually printed all the modules off for the whole 4yrs!! Also the best reassurance was that the compulsory text means must be read not brought as again I had printed off the book list for the whole course but I have started to look around to see if I can get any really really cheap and as soon as my student card arrives (this week) I will endeavour to go and investigate the library.
Have you explored the online portal etc there is sooo much advice & pointers in the right direction for additional support
Are you staying in the Uni Accommodation, Private student digs or commuting? I only live roughly 30min drive away so will commute with a downside of £3 a day parking
