On our Instagram story we asked you about your best advice for freshers and here is what you had to say:
- “Put yourself out there! Join as many clubs as you can and create a group chat for your lecture group to share notes”
- “Go out as much as you can, make those memories as uni is over too fast”
- “Absolutely join a society! Best way to make friends without it feeling forced”
- “Try to balance your uni work and socialising – don’t focus on one too much”
- “Join societies or clubs” It’s the best way to make friends and meet people with like-minded interests”
- “Make sure to create a budget in your first year that gives you freedom but keeps you from overspending”
- “Try to attend all your classes, it does set a good basis for what’s to come”
- “Have a look at societies, great way to make friends and get out”
- “Say yes to things even if you’re scared but be confident in saying no when you don’t feel comfortable”
