Hi @Jess.1819

I would say the fact it is much more independent and making friends as I met so many new people.

Hi @Jess.1819,
My favourite part of University was the amount of opportunities it has offered me. The opportunity to meet so many new people, get involved with business professionals and develop myself as an individual :smile:

Hi @Jess.1819

The best thing about uni for me is probably socialising with people and just having a good time when we’re not going to classes

In an academic sense, my favourite thing would be sitting in lectures and making notes whilst I have a drink from Starbucks because sometimes it’s just so relaxing (I’m not sure why) :biggrin:

If you’re at uni what’s your best thing about it?

The independent lifestyle and people you meet.

Hey @Jess.1819,

My favourite part of uni personally is the independence and the friends I have made! I've really enjoyed my time so far. :smile:

My favourite thing was the independence and feeling like I am actually learning with every new experience

The worse thing is loneliness can be hard. Even if you're surrounded by loads of people you can still be really lonely. I think it's genuinely pot luck whether you meet good friends or not, because everyone randomly gets put together in halls.. And the people you may end up with could be fake friends or just not the right people for you.

Hi @Jess.1819
My favourite part about university was getting to meet new people and join societies and clubs. This gives so many opportunities that I never would have had at home. Also I really enjoyed my course and getting to learn about things that I was interested in with other people who were also interested in the same subjects.
What are you looking forward to at university?

How about people who life at home and not at uni halls of residence/ private accomodation ?

Hi Jess,

My favourite part of University is definitely the independence it gives you, allowing you to make a massive group of new friends and explore different options you want for the future!

Nothing so far was my best thing about uni. I hate my experience I'm only here for my degree.
By far the independence.

My favourite part of University is the independence, meeting new people, having new experiences and discovering new places!

Hi,

If you are living at home or not uni specific halls you can definitely still get involved. I would advise attending things in the welcome weeks and freshers fairs - maybe even try a society (as there's normally loads to pick from). Talk to as many people as you can going into lectures, around campus in the library and you should be absolutely fine. I knew lots of people in this situation and it hasn't effected their overall experience at all.

Hope that helps

Hi @Jess.1819

My favourite thing about uni is the family feel, the amazing people I've met, and the independence of being in a city on my own.

Best Wishes,

no one tells you what you should/should not do. it's all up to you.

if you're shrewd enough, this is very liberating. for those less sure of themselves, it's a terrifying prospect.

Probably the independence tbh, especially the time to get work finished off.

Overall though, I found it hard to maintain friendships and the uni experience of having a good social life was not the case unfortunately.
