Talk to people whenever you get the chance, some you might not see again but others could become good friends, you never know.


Thanks. I shall definitely give this a read.

Hey, what are you going to be studying?

I'd advise you to just be open to new experiences and opportunities as they can open a lot of doors later on down the line. Remember to involve yourself during Fresher's week - everyone is in the same boat and you may make a few really good friends. I'd also advise you to sign up to a society or sports club - they offer great socials and you will meet people that you may not usually come across!

I hope this helps and good luck :smile:

When you go on for the firsttime you will probly see other people in you hall seting up there rooms or even in the kitchen having a cup of the or coffiee so say hi get
to know people once Mum & dad have left you grab a hall mate and go exploring (it's fun).

ussaly on one of the moving in weekend days there are welcome drinks (usaly Sunday) go on that with your halls mates it's a good bonding experiance with your
hall and your first chance to meet other people from other halls.

Go to the freshers fair for free stuff (I was given a vouture for a free tatoo or pearcing)it's a way to see what's in your new town/city.
