Tips For New Uni Students

Why Follow This Advice?

Having completed my first year of university I have had many learning curves and experiences. Through these experiences I have gathered some useful tips which I hope will assist you when beginning student life. 



  • Don't Rush Decisions: Before starting Uni I was lucky enough to hear this advice. Fortunately I didn't make any decisions too quickly in terms of my Uni course, what Uni I wanted to attend, where I wanted to live etc... This meant that when I finally did make my decision, I knew that it was the best path to take.

  • Avoid Stress: One of the worst things to do when starting Uni is to stress out. The truth is it can be quite daunting, a new way of learning, new people and maybe even new homes. This can all lead to a build up of stress. Yes the change will take some time to get used to but stress can be avoided. The way I mainly got rid of stress was by going on walks. It clears the mind and will help you immensely.

  • Don't Be Afraid To Try New Things: Although I had the chance to try a lot of new things during my first year, I still feel like I didn't explore enough of what my Uni was offering. Join clubs, attend events, take part. You'll meet new people and have a ball.

  • Fill Up Your Calendar: Being busy is key when is comes to beginning student life, it makes it so much easier to get work done and have fun. The best way to do this is to fill your calendar with a list of weekly duties, assignment goals and events. Not only will it relieve boredom but it will also ensure your up to date with your work whilst having fun in the process.

These are all things you have to think about before making decisions about student accommodation. The issue with giving advice on topics such as this is that it really depends on the individuals circumstances.  However If you are someone who has the ability to move away from home and wants to live in student accommodation. Here is my advice: Distance - consider the distance you need to travel to Uni, if its far or in a different country then obviously student accommodation is the route you need to go down. On the other hand if you live relatively close to your Uni then it may be wise consider travelling options. Self Analysis - try to be honest with yourself, are you prepared to be independent and live by yourself? If not perhaps its better to live at home or even leave it for another yea...

Being a modern student comes with many advantages, however, it sometimes isn't all its worked up to be.  Here are a few pros and cons of being a student in the modern age: Pros The main benefit of being a student today is the fast and easy access to information, or to put it bluntly; the internet.
