Results Day is coming up, and it’s exciting to think that in a few months you could be heading off to uni and starting a whole new chapter of your life.

How are you feeling about starting uni this autumn?

Are you worried about changes in restrictions affecting your time at uni? Or are you trying not to think about how this may affect your time?

How are you feeling about the possibility of online or face to face learning?

How do you think Freshers’ will be?

I’m excited but also nervous. I watched a tiktok compilation video on YouTube where people where talking about what they wish they knew before they went to uni, slightly off putting but no harm in me trying
Pretty excited, I just hope it won't be online and that we can still go out and socialise and stuff.
I switch between being really excited and completely petrified about university. I hope there aren't too many restrictions but I wouldn't mind if it is online or if there is limited clubbing/going out
I start in Feb 2022, as wanted to save up a bit before going. I have a bit longer to prepare after results day, which I'm happy about

What's freshers week probably comes across as a stupid question. I'm nervous hoping it isn't all online but guessing it's going to all be alone covid don't look any better at the moment. Nervous as I don't feel prepared and super anxious about results day and making friends due to my annoying shyness

I understand what you applying for buddy?
I'm excited for getting back to learning rather than just doing my own thing at home, but a bit nervous about living with strangers since it was an awful experience last time... If I get more considerate flatmates this time I'll be happy! :crossedf: I'm not too concerned about restrictions/blended learning/freshers, I'd love to know with more certainty what will happen but at the same time I'll just take what I can get after this year haha

I'm so so bored of summer. This is probably a case of "be careful what you wish for" but I can't wait to go to uni.

Very unlikely
I’m going into year 2 this year, so no longer a first year and I am absolutely dreading it.
