Bring something personal to make your room feel homely (photos, a favourite blanket, fairy lights).

Take a quick look at your course welcome materials – but don’t panic-buy every book yet.

Register with a local GP once you arrive.

•

Think about budgeting – little things like meal planning can really help.

•

Check out Welcome Week events and society fairs – they’re a great way to meet new people.

Remember, it’s normal to feel nervous – but you’re definitely not alone.
