WHAT IS THE FIRST WEEK OF UNIVERSITY REALLY LIKE?! | Weekly Vlog

[@chloetrendall3263]

it's actually so nice to see someone being honest and real about their uni experience, when I moved to uni all I saw was people saying how amazing it was but that wasn't how I felt at all and i was SO lonely, just remember you're not alone, I still get wobbles now and I'm in my second year x

[@UnJadedJade]

Molly, I appreciate your honesty SO much! I hope your homesickness gets better (which I'm sure it will as you get even more settled!). Lots of love! x ALSO ALSO ROAD TO 100K!!! 💛💛👏 xx

[@MollyThompsonx_]

Thank you so so much Jade! I really hope so too! Miss you lots 💗💗

[@elliedaniela8370]

ive just moved to uni and having so many what ifs, even to the point ive considered tranferring unis and dropping out! My homesickness started the moment my family left:( its so hard x

[@MollyThompsonx_]

It really is! We’ve got this tho gal 💗

[@elliedaniela8370]

YES! I've never related to a video more, and its so reassuring to see im not the only one finding it so difficult! I was so tempted to go home this weekend but decided i'm gonna try and last one more week! I hope things are getting easier for you and you settle in soon! If you ever need someone to vent to off the record you can always DM because I honestly know exactly how you are feeling! xx

[@issie.and.her.quills]

I feel exactly the same way so don’t worry!

[@maneskinnnnn7190]

it's difficult at first, very difficult, but I guarantee you in 3 months from now you will feel completely different. It's a big adjustment and takes at least 3 months to get used to, but stick with it and don't go home just accept that you will feel like this for the first 3 months, it's inevitable, but 3 months from now you will be loving it.

[@hannahkendrick2459]

I visited home loads, cried for weeks and found it really difficult to settle when I started uni but now I'd do anything to start first year again, you'll find your place and your vibe and tribe, it does get better and worst case, its only like 9 months! x

[@Holols13]

I stress watched these videos just before I got my GCSE results before going into college, and now I’m stress watching them again before going to Uni 👌🏻 Thanks for these, Molly 😂❤️

[@georginaevans3607]

when i started first year i found it SO comforting to look at my diary to see when i was able to go home, even if i didnt end up going home that weekend just knowing that if i really needed to i could get home! hope you settle in soon!!!

[@TheCiaramcguiness]

Hearing this experience totally mirrored mine. I went home after my first week and I begged my Mum not to send me back (even though uni was my choice, ha!). It sucked and even though there was nothing particularly horrible about uni it was just such a massive change and I couldn’t stop thinking about how I’d never have the same routine again. By December I had a great set of friends and the homesickness had died down. From someone now going into second year, it does get better. Don’t do what I did and totally avoid every chance to socialise when all you want to do is go back to your flat and FaceTime your family and boyfriend. Jump into it with two feet. I ended up loving first year so much but like anything it took time. You’ve got this!

[@kiayah]

Molly your honesty is so so valuable. I am in my second year of university now and even now it’s been difficult to come back and find the balance of being happy to be here but homesick at the same time. Hearing your honest opinions has made me feel so much less alone- thank you so much❤️❤️❤️

[@RachelDex]

*I'm a receptionist in a hotel and we don't allocate people separate beds unless they request that. Hotel staff don't know your personal situation and it's not professional for us to ask. We don't know if 2 people are strangers, friends or romantically involved etc It's up to the guests to state their preferences when checking in

[@thechicgirl98]

It's so nice to see someone be so honest about their experience of moving to uni, yes its exciting but it's also so scary and unsettling. When I moved to uni I cried so much and went home after like 2 weeks haha. I promise you though it get's better and after christmas you'll just feel perfectly fine at uni and you'll still miss home sometimes but you'll love uni! Lotta love molly, hope you're okay xxxx

[@glitteredhearts]

I really struggled in my first year of uni. I cried every single time I got dropped back off and went home most weekends. However it really does get better. I loved having my car at uni the following two years because it gave me the freedom and security knowing I could drive home whenever I wanted to. I would say wait it out and if you absolutely hate it, it’s not the worst thing in the world dropping out! X

[@ZBondeyy]

I did a 2 year Foundation in Fine Art and honestly I am so glad that I didn't do the full degree. It made me realise that it wasn't what I wanted to do- but it did mean that I had a lot more experience when doing my next course. I have now gone on to do a Honours in Graphics which has made me much happier!

[@georgiahodgson2316]

I went to uni last year and I understand how you feel. The homesickness suddenly hit me in October so I went home and then I was fine after having a little taste of home. Best thing you can do is don’t go home as much, get a routine. Also FaceTime is the best.

[@niamhxxx5526]

Molly, if this whole vlog wasn’t me last year then I don’t know. You will settle in trust me. I’m going into my second year and I cannot wait and to start but last year I didn’t think I’d ever say. Stick at it, go window shopping, go for a coffee make memories. Huge fan of your videos. Also you blowing up on KZbin lately xx

[@honorwaterfield9]

Niamh Xxx honestly same, during Freshers I just wanted to drop out and just go home but I’m so glad I didn’t. It was hard but just honestly so relieved I stayed. I hope the rest of your first year went a lot better!! :)

[@lsrlsr4441]

Molly I know uni is amazing and it’s a great experience and I go myself but I stay at home but if you’re honestly not okay just leave and stay home! Don’t make yourself miserable or alone, please don’t put yourself through it! You don’t have to stay x

[@xstrawberrypopsicle]

Hope your home sickness gets better, I graduated last year and for my last two years of uni I commuted everyday to Nottingham which was over an hours drive! Yeah it cost me a lot more but I was happier! Living away from home isn't for everyone! Please don't feel guilty for coming home etc, you need to feel comfortable xx

[@maneskinnnnn7190]

everyone has to move out at some point ! and homesickness is normal, it takes about 2 months to get over you just have to push through it!

[@lyd271]

I think although everyone has to move out at some point, some people find it difficult to move out at the age of 18 or whatever to university as realistically people don't tend to move out into their own house at that point so it is going to be a shock to the system. Also, when people do eventually move out, quite a few people tend to stay local, whereas with university, people struggle as they go hours away sometimes which is hard

[@maneskinnnnn7190]

when you are 18 you are an adult so you are going to have to get used to moving out at some point in your adult life, it's never easy, it takes months to get used to, but you have to stick with it and persevere as you are going to have to do it at some point.

[@amycoombes6820]

The fact that you told us all your little worries, and it wasn’t portrayed as the best time of your life from day one has actually really settled me, and reduced my anxiety xx thank you x

[@slf4545]

Your honesty is so refreshing to see. It's a really overwhelming time - there's nothing wrong with being upset and allowing yourself to feel that! I have every confidence you'll settle in and do so well, keep powering through 🖤

[@PurpleStrawberry98]

Hey molly, I’m moving to uni next week and I’m so excited but nervous. I love that you’re being real and telling everyone all of the real differences from going to uni xx

[@anna-leighlishman4530]

If you are with unite students they can put you on a list to swap a room with someone or they might have a room where no one moved into ! Am sure the boys will understand if you were to move out i would feel the same !

[@user-km4yx6dq5p]

The first few weeks of uni will always be a struggle in terms of having doubts/second thoughts. But that's completely normal! Just stay positive and stick through it. That's what i did and im so glad because uni has gone quite well and im about to go into my second year.

[@laurenoliviia]

hiii! it’s really cool of you to not pretend that you are enjoying every single thing of uni and it’s quite refreshing to see all of your honesty with how you’re feeling and your situation. I started uni this time last year and struggled so much that I had dropped out within a month! I just wanted to let you know that it does get better and you’ll eventually know what is right for you! I really hope that you manage to get over the homesickness soon, it’s the worst feeling EVER, and that you start to feel better about it! 💖

[@abirobrob]

Honestly don't worry about not feeling settled and still feeling homesick in your first few weeks or even the first month. Your first month at uni will probably be one of the strangest experiences you've ever had. You are so surrounded by people but you feel so alone. As long as you are going out, socialising and having fun then you will make connections with people and that will help you to feel so much better! It's just the lack of familiarity in the first few weeks that is so overwhelming. As for living with all boys, once the other unis have started and it's freshers try and have the confidence to knock on the doors of other people on your floor so you can find some girls that are really close by that you can chill with! You'll be fine and I'm sure you will love it once the first few weeks have passed! x

[@missrachlb]

Molly, I really feel your video has helped me to get the confidence to talk and get more involved with my flat mates as I was just sitting in my room on my own So thank you xx

[@jessgrimmel8281]

It's refreshing to see you being so honest about how you're feeling at Uni. I can relate so much - I felt exactly the same 3 years ago when I started at Uni! What you said about watching Zoella's vlog to feel calmer really resonated with me as I actually found Alice Thorpe to watch as she was a fresher at the same time as me, and she made me feel so much better because starting Uni is scary and when you feel alone youtube can really help!! I also came home every weekend in my first year for an entire year, and totally understand that sometimes that's what you need to do to feel better!! I hope your homesickness passes, I promise you it will do, even if it takes longer than you'd previously anticipated! Xxx

[@elliecook1209]

Awh Molly I'm sorry to hear you've not been feeling 100% about uni so far, but it really is great to see you being honest, not many uni stories are portrayed in all lights, mainly just focussing on positives. My only advice would be to persevere because it will get better- you're already doing amazingly well even if it doesn't feel like it! Xxx

[@thatyear2teacher558]

I hated my first week of university and I was so homesick, after a couple of weeks in proper routine and once you’ve made firm bonds with your course mates it gets so much better! Keep smiling🤗

[@megan8556]

Honestly don’t worry about what you’re ‘not supposed to do’ when you start uni, just do whatever makes you happy! If FaceTiming your family every day or going home when you need to is what helps you then do it, it’s exactly what I did and I’m about to go into my second year and i think if I hadn’t done that then I wouldn’t be at uni still. Don’t beat yourself up over it, give it time and do whatever you feel is right xx

[@hannahstafford8758]

It’s hard moving away from home for university. But one thing I’ve learnt from my experience is that if you don’t get along with your flat mates, it’s not really a big deal. Just try and be positive and focus on your university friends if that makes you more comfortable x

[@pointlesschatter715]

Hannah Stafford this is such a lovely comment xxx I am moving to uni next week and I just want to go now so so so excited xxxx

[@hannahstafford8758]

Pointless chatter enjoy it! Xxx

[@lolaftzgrld]

i did an art foundation course last year! i kind of wish i could go back and redo it cos i feel like i didnt get as involved in the work as i could have, but my course made me realise that as much as i love art i couldnt do it as a career, now im off to nottingham to study something completely different! but thats the beauty of foundation courses, its like a trial year to see if u can do it as an undergraduate. just explore everythings thats offered to you and hopefully you'll find that light blub moment of what you feel super passionate about! but if not, please dont stress

[@MsPeaceLover2k10xx]

Molly I know exactly how you feel. I moved to university last year and the homesickness was so bad I spent so much of my time either crying or wishing I was at home. For me it never really eased up so I transferred to my local university and I’m feeling much more positive. It’s 100% down to the person, the fact that everyone enjoys university is not true! More people find it more difficult than you’d think. Don’t force yourself to do something you don’t want to do, happiness is a far far more worthy than a degree💕

[@everythingevening6972]

I was older before I moved away for uni and I moved in with a boyfriend and I still really struggled. I couldn’t imagine doing it alone! I phone my parents nearly everyday just to chat about their day as I would have spoke to them like that when I lived at home. Everyone has doubts, it took me months to settle. Do not feel bad about phoning home everyone is different with how much they want/need to talk to family. What helps me is knowing when I’m next going home, I always get more homesick when I don’t have a trip home planned!

[@beautybychloejessica]

this is the most real first week video i've seen. I moved to Hull uni last year from Leeds and those moments alone in your room or in your kitchen are the strangest and loneliest times ever, but i promise it does get better you do settle and soon uni will feel like another home!

[@megantia7000]

It’s really nice seeing someone else open up about this. I moved to uni a week ago and I’m in the exact same shoes as you, I’m debating wether to drop out or not and I am worried people will judge me if I do. But it’s so nice watching your videos and seeing I’m not the only one

[@emem4104]

I think the whole ‘don’t ring home, don’t talk to your family’ thing is so dumb... for me it helped so much as it made the whole uni thing feel not so permanent and life altering ... if you cut yourself off I think it makes it harder!!

[@amandamakesstuff1383]

100% agreed! remembering and knowing that you have friends and family at home who'll always be there no matter how it goes is SO helpful!

[@aaishabano2013]

Best first week a uni weekly vlog. You're such a honest and geniune person. I hope you're homesickness gets better.❤

[@hnsccharlie4908]

Have you tried the coach to london? it’s so chilled out and my boyfriend and I often use it. it usually costs us about £7 each from chesterfield and you get free wifi, charging and a guaranteed seat on the coach which you don’t always get on a train!!

[@emily123125]

Love your vlogs Molly, hope you feel happier soon 💖

[@allycatization]

Molly ❤️ I started uni 10 years ago (showing my age!) And I'm still friends with the girls on my course - we celebrated our anniversary during the summer! 🎉 Uni has its highs and lows but was an amazing experience. I actually went to Leeds too and I'm from London so feeling homesick was big for me. I also struggle with knowing what I want to do and I'm 29! I think your anxiety and worries are natural. The what ifs are tough. It's okay to feel that way. You go girl, you're doing your best! X

[@phoebsreadss]

I'm so glad you're being honest because I felt exactly the same as you when I moved. I felt so lonely and emotional even though I was only about 45 mins/an hour away from home and I went home every weekend and would always look forward to it so much. So nice to see that I'm not odd or alone and that it's absolutely fine to not fall instantly in love with uni and living away from home❤️

[@naomimcgillivray]

I moved to uni last Saturday! I've been quite homesick too and haven't properly gelled with anyone yet which makes me even more nervous, but I'm trying to just take it as it comes!

[@nataliehaggis999]

It's okay to feel sad!! Hope going home kind of helped and hopefully things get better for you❤️ whenever you cry it makes my eyes water up! I know how you feel with worrying about settling in as I started uni - hated it and thought it was the end of the worst. Made me feel so down and horrible and couldn't keep positive at all. Things should pick up!!

[@lennoxdraws]

i'm going into second year in my art course and i can assure you the uncertainty is really hard, but dont feel like youre trapped where you are, and you do have some control over your experience ❤️ things start to make sense with time

[@yeonjunsupremacy2319]

Molly you are amazing and it's so good you are honest about how you are feeling.

[@gd4761]

Legit watching this was like replaying my first week last year. Don’t worry Molly, you’re doing so well darl honestly, I promise

[@SuperAbbiestar]

I started university last year, and I was the same at the start, so many ‘what ifs’ and I just want to go home, and what if it wasn’t the right thing for me, I almost dropped out to do something else however I am so glad that I stuck it out and got to meet loads of new people, and have made so many amazing friends! My whole outlook changed and this year I’m so excited to move back to university, and actually have a house that will feel more like home! The first few weeks/month is hard and it feels so lonely, but from experience and someone who thought that I would never feel at home or part of it, it does get easier and better! Good luck with your course! You’ll make some amazing unforgettable memories x

[@kiayah]

In my first year I came home at Christmas- after three months of uni and still didn’t want to go back! But after that I absolutely loved uni and it finally felt like home. It’s different for everyone but homesickness is completely normal💛

[@carabarnes5827]

Omg I’m just like you with homesickness etc , I always always think what if I’m ill, what if I can’t do it etc , your not as bad as me but good luck and uni and you will enjoy it as the year goes on ! 💗

[@skylermcaddy6459]

I loved this Molly! It made me so happy to see you have a lovely time in London with Eve 🖤 I really hope that next week is a better week for you. It breaks my heart to hear you feel lonely and upset. You deserve all the happiness in the world and I really hope that you find that 🖤 I can’t wait for tomorrow’s vlog, I hope you’re enjoying home. I love you xxx

[@natashagiddens4325]

I love that you are being honest about your uni experience. I would maybe say that after this weekend don't go home as much because that way you can really try and settle into uni. I love your videos!

[@laurak5724]

Aww Molly! Thank you for having the courage to share this with us! I have the whole uni experience to look forward to very soon as well so it was nice/interesting to have this insight. Enjoy your special time at home xxxx

[@laurenfisher5406]

Loved this video, both the style and the length of it ❤️❤️

[@saraht7227]

I’m so happy for you with your subscribers increasing and your views, you deserve it so much xx

[@siennazee]

I literally cannot wait for tomorrow’s vlog and I’m sooo happy that the weekly vlogs are backx

[@emilywilliams2426]

I've been watching your videos since you had 30k and I just wanted to say how proud I am of how much you've changed and your channel has developed. all the best xx

[@Olivia-cu5mh]

Where did you get your diary from? It's lovely! Thank you for being so honest about your experience:)

[@EbunZara]

Definitely speak to your student support or welfare people at University, as well as the accomodation rather than reception. Hopefully they will do more about you moving to a mixed flat xx

[@bellaboux402]

I get so emotional watching you as im so proud of how you handling it all xx you go girl

[@poppyjackson2421]

so happy the weekly vlogs are back! Good luck with it all it will get so much easier with time xx

[@user-zj8sv9er9i]

Thanks for being so honest about yr feelings in this vlog. Hope you feel better soon. It's such a hard thing to do but you'll soon settle into the year. X

[@jessbaldwin]

Hop everything gets better. My younger brother felt the same when he started last year. Now he’s really settled. xx

[@Mary-jv2fx]

Your skin not clear?! Honey, what are you on about?! It's beautiful! I wish I could look as good as you do without makeup!

[@k__d1682]

I started uni this week too and I hate it. It’s 6 hours from home and I know no one. I cried myself to sleep every night because everyone goes clubbing but I have no one to go with. I just want to drop out already 😞 my housemates don’t really mix and because I’m naturally shy I haven’t made any friends yet because there are so many people on the course. I really want to do the course as it’s something I love but it’s 4 years long and I don’t know how long I’ll last as I’m just so lonely 😓

[@somersks7221]

try joining some societies and hang out where lots of people are, try not to isolate yourself it will get better xx

[@k__d1682]

Thanks and I will, freshers is this week so hopefully it will get better x

[@Jennifer-tv3ny]

Seriously you have to tell yourself "everyone is in the same boat as me" because it is beyond true. If you're shy now is your time to fake being confident. I know its so much harder than it sounds but you have to do it. Just literally talk to ANYONE ask where their from etc. then ask them if theyre going out for freshers and arrange to meet up. There no better way to make friends then when you're drunk. The more people you small talk with, the more friendly faces you have around college in which a simple hello when passing by them can turn into a friendship!! Good luck x

[@Iona_moss]

Are you part of any group chats for your course? If you aren’t- join them! Try and find a fb page that is like course finder and there should be a group chat for your course? This really helped me, as I am so shy too! It’s taken me until now (I’m just starting third year lol) to finally feel comfortable with my coursemates, but it would have taken longer, if at all, if it wasn’t for getting to know people beforehand on the group chat! I feel it’s easier to talk behind a screen and you can put a face to a name once you get in there and know you have technically already spoken to these people. Also, societies are amazing for finding like minded people! I didn’t have the best experience with the actual societies themselves but I made loads of friends from them and we still talk now even though I haven’t been involved with the society for a year now. Things will get better x

[@megdestcroix4592]

K__d1 I’m still at home and I already feel homesick! Honestly you’re not alone! Try your best to stick it out and stay positive and maybe book train tickets home in a few weeks for something to look forward to xxxx

[@laurencowan3429]

I hope it all gets better for you soon, or at least more bearable Xx

[@bethmichelle787]

I move to uni on Friday in Leicester and its 4 hours away from where I live, im super nervous and was worried that I would be the only one feeling like this but after stumbling across ur vlogs and ur channel it has made me feel more settled and made me look forward to moving..... Im so happy I came across your channel becuase I know that when I move and feel low about being away from my family I can just log into youtube and watch your channel..... GOOD LUCK FOR UNI and i cannot wait to watch more of your videos xx

[@motivatewithm.a.r.y4981]

Best of luck with uni Molly! So proud of you lovely!xxx ♡

[@DarceyHarcombe]

I literally loved this video so much!! I subscribed right away! This was so me last year and I felt very weird for feeling so lonely and out of place in what is meant to be 'the best time of your life'. Your honesty is everything, and its so important to let others know how you are feeling is normal because I feel not many people realise that and beat themselves up about it. I actually decided to start a youtube channel myself to primarily vlog uni life because I want to give a realistic view of what it can be like for a lot of people. However, I also want to say, stick to it because you will find true friendships and it will become so worthwhile! Hope you feel better soon and always stay true to yourself, loved this video so much xx

[@alydamarincovich5704]

I just got back to uni for my second year, and I found leaving home after this summer so much harder than last year. I think part of it is last year my dad came and helped me move in and get settled, whereas this year I did it all alone. I found it hard at first last year because I moved to a new country for uni and knew absolutely no one, but my flatmates were super welcoming, and by the end of October I felt like I had found a good group of friends. Up until that point, I was alone a lot and just kind of stayed in my room, but once societies got up and running and doing events, I found ones that interested me and that helped me make friends with similar interests.

[@hannah1432mac]

I can relate to your emotions throughout this whole vlog but 100% it does get much easier it just takes time to adjust. Keep going x

[@gillcarlab]

If you're gonna do a university Q&A pls answer this!!! 1. are you flatmates cute??? LOL 2. is an art foundation free or do you have to pay for it (not from uk so no idea)

[@emilysmith2296]

These are helping me so much as I’m moving to uni next week!!

[@georginaalpaca]

Aw Molly, I really feel for you! You’ll get into it, I’m sure. Hope you’re okay!!! So much love♥️♥️

[@bethwalkerhughes9873]

I’ve missed a good old weekly vlog!! Im so glad you’ve settled in and are enjoying it so far!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@janesmith7615]

Hope you feel settled soon - I started uni last year but stayed at home because I am a massive home bird - couldn't cope at all with the thought of moving out, but I'm sure once you're settled you will have such a good time. Is there any way of you moving flats/would you actually want to?

[@nisaahussein5822]

It is so good that you actually gave your honest experience in thus video which will help so many others out there.... Don't worry about the homesickness you will overcome it lysm molly keep it up💜💜

[@IsabelleRowley]

Don’t put pressure on yourself to be more upbeat for the viewers, if anything it’ll tire you out more and that won’t help anyone. If you need to take a break, take a break. Focus on yourself. Honestly. You’ll feel good. Do you something that you enjoy, so if you enjoy vlogging keep going. But don’t put too much pressure on yourself.

[@beckybaker4337]

I am so glad your so honest in these vlogs. As univeristy is a scary thing! X

[@ace1152000]

I feel the exact same! I'm moving out next Saturday to go to uni and am terrified of feeling alone as well as being so far from home as I'm moving 3 hours away. It's so normal, I just hope that once I get there I feel ok and I hope you start to feel better about everything soon x

[@KatherineMaary]

I'm third year of uni now and I nearly transferred/dropped out after my first year because nobody socialised in my flat apart from one girl who was home 4 out of 7 days a week, I was literally all on my own on a course full of people who commuted in! I'm so glad I stuck with it now though because it's a great experience and after a few weeks it'll be so much more fun! Good luck xx

[@studywithanna]

I’m watching this vlog because I start my course at University next week and I’m so scared, just basically meeting people and like you said with so many what if thoughts that pop up and you can’t stop them. If you can get through it, I believe that so can I. Wishing you the best and I truly hope you find your place at uni and feel better 💗

[@ems2411]

How'd it go?

[@ameliabarton8713]

I'm going to uni of Leeds next week as a first year and these videos are making me feel so much more calm about moving to uni and to Leeds!!xoxo

[@ems2411]

How's it going so far?

[@KatieC539]

Hope this week goes better for you! I know its really hard to feel yourself in a different environment but you just have to give it time. I can assure you that most people are feeling the same. I would honestly just say get yourself out there as much as you can, try and make a close friend that way you won't feel as lonely. I start Uni on Monday doing a Fine Art course and I feel as though it can be daunting, however everyone has different styles and not one persons idea is more important that the others. Sharing creativity together betters you and I really hope that it makes you feel the same. Always here for a chat

[@eliciaallman6195]

Thank you for being honest about the what ifs and is it right for me! Thought I was the only one

[@lilybrown3347]

I appreciate your honesty, you are such a star. I adore your videos so much.

[@emmataylor1712]

With the toilet situ, try pressing the button many times as it may have got stuck. Or if you can, get into the cistern bit and press the flush for the inside, that usually will stop it as it’s just the toilet filling up 🙂

[@lolableOriginal]

I watched this 4 years ago and it’s crazy to watch it again now having gone through it all

[@davidsweeney111]

Molly, you will feel a lot better when the course starts, promise you!

[@whatsdozdoing]

the worst thing you can do is second doubt yourself. what ifs are gonna hold you back from enjoying things. Homesickness is a bish but trust me it's going to get better. Having girls in your flat could be nice but honestly it gets better. As long as you get along them it's fine. Uni isn't all about getting settled at once you'll get settled trust me on that!! Just hang in there

[@HanTaylor]

I love how honest you are in this, but your homesickness will get better! I was exactly the same last year when I started university, but after the first couple of weeks it started to get better - I'm sure freshers will help with that too!

Homesickness will get easier I promise!! I missed home every single day in my first year and now going into 3rd year and can’t wait to go back to uni! Give it time and go home as much as you feel you need to x don’t feel as if you’re trapped up there x

Awh Molly hope you feeling better !!! I say once you started get really Into uni and like join society and clubs you feel lots better and like once you make a few friends too . It's really hard being away from home but I say lots of people are feeling the same way !!! Love your vlogs 😀❤

Love this video!! You’re my fave youtuber, your personality is amazing and hope whoever reads this has a fab day!! Xxx

I really hope it does work out for the best! I remember feeling unsettled at first because I didn't get into halls straight away. But luckily my flatmates were very welcoming when I first moved in and I had friends on my course as well! I definitely recommend joining societies because you'll meet lots of other people there too! So hopefully you're right in that once your course properly starts you'll start to feel more at home :)

Literally this was me last year in uni, I was always going home in order to ‘break up’ the uni life! After Christmas it seems to get so much better, and the homesickness seems to go x

Completely understand what you were saying about living with all boys but just wanted to try and reassure you, when I was at uni, I had a mixed flat but I ended up just being close with the boys. Try not to worry, you can always hang out with girls on your course when you get to know them better x

[@jadeclifford6092]

I moved to uni last year and found out I was in a flat with 3 other boys and just me so I know exactly how you feel but I can assure you once you make friends on your course you’ll hardly spend much time in your flat anyway due to being out with friends and at their flats, as long you get a long with your boy flat mates you’ll be ok!! Stick it out❤️❤️❤️

I’m watching this and crying because I’m so in denial about going but when I do think about it I know I’m going to feel exactly the same as you, but I’m also happier because at least I know I won’t be the only one feeling like this

I never usually comment I always feel too old to be watching (23 lol) but I had to on this I’m so glad you’re talking and being real about this side of uni! I was in a similar boat when I first started I was unsettled and homesick and I didn’t get on with my housemates at all I spent every night in my room FaceTiming my boyfriend, (I ended up moving to a different uni) but things do get better and what’s meant to be will be, don’t feel bad for missing home it’s natural, good luck and I can’t wait to watch your journey through uni!
