Questions on what starting University is like

Hi. I have a questionnaire for old/new university students who study in the UK. This is for a project of mine, so any feedback would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks in advance :smile:

1) Could you describe your experience of the first few weeks at university in year one?
2) If there was anything specific you answered in Question 1, could you elaborate on it?
3) Could you describe a specific event, time, or episode at the start of your university experience which involved socialising or meeting people on your course?
4) How did that situation make you feel? What could have helped you to achieve better experiences/outcomes? (e.g. what could have helped to reduce anxiety, make experiences more pleasurable)?
5) How do you usually go about meeting new people?
6) Is there anything you would like to say or add about your university experience?
7) Do you have any ideas for something the university could do to help you with making friends and meeting new people?
