BEST AND WORST PARTS OF LIVING IN UNI HALLS | EMILY ROSE

[@YayanneYay]

It would be great If you could do a video on how you plan/spend your budget every week/month and keep track of your finances while going to uni xxx

[@EmilyRoseFisher]

Thanks for the suggestion x

[@jennyholloway8192]

I'm terrified about going into halls cause I'm very introverted and need my space but I chose a hall that has flats of between 4 and 6 and it's the smallest hall so there are not many flats in it 👍

[@gd4761]

Jenny Holloway don’t worry

[@Amaya_Ai]

Ahhh I'm the exact same - terrified to move in with people when I'm happy to stay in my room watching netflix 24/7 Q_Q

[@gd4761]

ThunderGirl don’t worry you can still have your privacy but you can grow a lot from the experience you’ll be fine. From an introvert too xxxx

[@catrinwilliams3016]

Literally everybody is in the same position as you. I’m an introvert and going into halls and I’m excited about it because It’s like a clean slate for me so it’s like as if I’m getting away from anxiety if that makes sense. If you pretend to be confident and “fake it ‘till you make it” it actually works, especially if you’re away from home

[@vhehl698]

@@catrinwilliams3016 definitely. I went to uni for a summer camp last summer and this technique worked out really well, I met some great friends there and am still in frequent contact with them! I can't wait for the summer when we'll meet up again :D

[@gd4761]

I don’t agree entirely with what you said about noise and making noise complaints. Making a noise complaint isn’t petty and I want any new first years to know that if they read this. I made multiple noise complaints in my halls as some of my flatmates would bring their friends into the kitchen to party on week nights, not tell the rest of us and be so noisy and wake us up when we had lectures in the morning. Yes people at uni like to party but they need to respect other people and it’s unfair to say that complaints are petty. They can take the party elsewhere and anyway, the halls rules at my uni state that you should quiet down after 11pm on week nights

[@niamhdoran8158]

Gee I agree, I personally was on teaching placement 9-5 every weekday for 6 weeks and the noise in the building across from me was ridiculous as they’d open their windows and play music really loud. If it’s during the week and you have early lectures or are doing a placement for medicine etc I believe it’s completely acceptable to complain as it does make a difference.

[@gd4761]

Niamh Doran yeah at the end of the day, you have the right to live in peace. If they wanna party go elsewhere

[@peacevibing5561]

Gee I think she just meant more about the complaint of 11pm on a Saturday night and the likes of, when this is to be expected. Like she said, obviously if someone is being ridiculously loud then it's understandable but I don't think she meant all noise complaints were petty, you sounded well within your rights to complain in that situation!

[@Katie-ci9jw]

Disagree, making a noise complaint IS petty. You're at univeristy, don't live in halls if you're going to be a party pooper, or go and live somewhere else that isn't as lively. Try not to take life too seriously, let people party, and take emily advice and buy ear plugs hahahaha

[@gd4761]

Katie it’s not being a party pooper! You’re at university to learn and have fun but primarily to learn, and if you can’t sleep you can’t concentrate in lectures which is what you’re there for. A basic tenancy right is to be able to live in peace. If people want to party that can go to another flat where nobody minds or they can be quiet when returning from the club. They have no rights to disturb basic functions of living

[@jessicaceita3726]

Been binge watching all your uni videos, so good, they are really helpful😊

[@duckscanquack8238]

Jess C me too

[@EmilyRoseFisher]

Awww!!! Thank you x

[@EmilyRoseFisher]

Thanks!

[@xx_aniya8683]

My sister is in halls , I’m going next year but she is studying to be a chief and she cooked some really bomb stir fry and dished out her food and went to go get her containers from her bedroom and people were dishing out her food and eating it . She was so mad cause she was meal prepping for the week .😹

[@habeebaayub1923]

xx_aniya wow sone people actually have no respect at all

[@MadeleineElizabethx]

Am I the only uni student who came back with the full set of cutlery I took? LOL

[@gd4761]

Madeleine Elizabeth sameee

[@EmilyRoseFisher]

I think so hahah!!

[@millieleaa]

I’d LOVE to see a uni haul if you’ve brought more for your uni house 💜

[@EmilyRoseFisher]

Okay! x

[@pollyking7936]

Thank you so much for this. I move from a very small village in Wales, to Manchester at the end of the week. And my my, have I been nervous. This is soothing, and encouraging. ❤️

[@EmilyRoseFisher]

Best of luck ⭐️ xx

[@whatamiedid4014]

My first year hall block was awful. Probably 5 nights out of 7 they would have a party till midnight. Then go out until 3. Then come back and have a party until 5 when someone would usually call the warden to end the party. And trust me... ear plugs barely made a difference!x

[@EmilyRoseFisher]

That sounds stressful!

[@AliceSeyf]

Found myself nodding along to everything you said! I graduated 3 years ago and this made me so nostalgic 😩 I hope you have a great time in 2nd year - my years at uni were the best three years of my life!

[@EmilyRoseFisher]

Aw! So glad you had a good time, I hope this year doesn't go as quickly haha x

[@HannahMiniMarieMusic]

Love these video’s (as well as the Asos etc!) I’m heading to Uni in September so these are so helpful thank you!! x

[@farisyaa6834]

sorry just wondering, but if u sleep with ear plugs on,, how do you wake up in the morning without hearing the alarm clock or anything?

[@EmilyRoseFisher]

I usually wake up in the morning and they've fallen out haha!

[@mariahop]

Love your uni videos, so helpful! Ive started my own student series and ive just uploaded my student house tour, just showing student accommodation after halls. Great video Emily, as always ☺️

[@EmilyRoseFisher]

I'll check it out! x

[@livtopia-xo2wv]

Thank you for making this video! It was super helpful, I'm doing a 3rd year at college and then I'm thinking of going to Bournemouth Arts Uni (I'm from Southampton lol). Even tho I'm not going to uni in September, this will help me when I go into uni the following year ☺️

[@EmilyRoseFisher]

Aw I'm so glad I could help and good luck at uni if you go! x

[@oliviahusak9020]

equiiroxy I’m going BU TOO

[@laurentuffin3332]

Yessss these are so true, I’m going into second year this September as well, good luck with it all !! X

[@EmilyRoseFisher]

Good luck to you too! x

[@Aikut03]

Wow i think this is one of your most honest videos on Uni!!😕

[@xy1784]

Just a random question🙈: When you wear ear plugs, did you still hear your alarm in the morning? Love your videos❤

[@EmilyRoseFisher]

haha yes I did! I mostly found that they would fall out in the night anyway, but they did the job of getting me to sleep in the first place x

[@tinkyty]

*CONGRATS ON 26k EM* ⭐️💛💛

[@EmilyRoseFisher]

Thank you Ty 💜

[@MadeleineElizabethx]

Completely agree that you should make the most of it! Also just want to mention to make sure you make friends with people outside of your flat, with my flat I didn't gel well with them, and if I hadn't had my friends on my course and in the performing arts society, I wouldn't have had such a great time! If you wouldn't mind Emily, I've post a university series on my channel and I'd absolutely love some feedback if you have the time :) xx

[@EmilyRoseFisher]

Yeah that's a very good point. Sure, i'll check them out x

[@MadeleineElizabethx]

Another point with the eye mask is that some halls have sensor lights so obviously they come on when theres movement. Ours was broken so it would randomly ping on even when no one was there, we joked there was a ghost haha! But yeah if you sleep lightly an eye mask if a must! I nearly got stuck in halls lift - I've now got a slight fear of the lifts now haha. Such a good, helpful video! :) x

[@EmilyRoseFisher]

Our lift was awful! It broke down so many times, I'm just thankful I wasn't in it when it did haha. x

[@niharikasinghchauhan7606]

Hey Emily! Your videos have been extremely helpful. I have been offered a seat for masters at Southampton university. I just wanted to ask you how the city life is and the job prospects (both part time and full time).

[@ariana409]

Is it allowed to have mini fridge , mini oven etc in your dorm??? Thank your for the video , and you're very pretty x

[@smv9706]

Ariana depends on ur uni hall but I think

[@sianashton9837]

How did you find budgeting ? Or what advice would you give towards budgeting ? Xx

[@EmilyRoseFisher]

I found it okay. I just made meal plans every week and that was my main source of planning which really helped me! x

[@emilyrose_tbdc]

LOVE your uni related videos ❤️❤️

[@EmilyRoseFisher]

Thank you Emily! x

[@laurynsteel7046]

can you make a house tour when you move in? also when do you have to start looking for houses/putting a deposit in

[@EmilyRoseFisher]

Yes sure! It was around March time we put our deposit down, some people did it even earlier! x

[@Dan87653]

How to make a cup tea last more than 20 minutes.

[@ingridmankelow7989]

how much did your washing cost, etc.? x

[@EmilyRoseFisher]

I think it was £1.50 for a wash and £1.10 for a dry, around that price x

[@lucinda4903]

I'm going to have a shared bathroom which I'm a bit worried about, have you heard any experiences of shared bathrooms?

[@EmilyRoseFisher]

I'm sure it'll be okay! One of my friends had a shared bathroom in her first year at uni and she said it really wasn't bad at all. I'm sure you'll have cleaners so in a way it's quite good! x

[@katrinadempsey1123]

Hey girl! what would you recommend, halls or a flat

[@nirina7985]

Is there another way for me to talk to my housemates beforehand if I don't have facebook?

[@habeebaayub1923]

Alma Green it’s harder for sure. Just make a Facebook it’s not that deep

[@charlottej5814]

The whole halls thing confuses me, why do you have to move out, I thought you had the same room every year

[@happysunshine10001]

charlotte j when you go uni the halls are for people in the 1st year so you have to go so the new first years can come in you can go back to halls but you have to apply for it again but most people move on to having houses with their friends, after first year it’s harder to go student accommodation

[@charlottej5814]

Ayesha Dave ah Okay, i guess after watching fresh meat I got confused 😂 thankyou for replying

[@EmilyRoseFisher]

Nope! The contract is up after 1 year x

[@itseveful3452]

when do you recommend start looking for a house?

[@EmilyRoseFisher]

We started looking after christmas x

[@annagautrey6147]

I love your uni videos so much ❤️❤️ I was just wondering if you found any of your course mates or flat mates online before you went? Xx

[@EmilyRoseFisher]

Thank you! I was added to a block group chat before uni but the people I spoke to in it, I didn't end up seeing around really anyway haha! xx

[@MusicMediaShows]

Thanks for the useful infomation emily!! I'm extremely introverted and I'm afraid I will have difficulty making friends even in a full students hall.. and I am thinking about renting a room in a halI.. I just feel like when I'm talking to people I don't have anything to say and then the other get bored easily and they also don't say a lot..and it's a bit weird.. I get anxious a lot and I am not comfortable being around a many people.. I also have difficulty sleeping.. But I am afraid that if I rent a private flat I am gonna feel more lonely.. I don't know.. :( Any advice? Congrats on your 2nd year em xxx

[@EmilyRoseFisher]

That must be pretty hard for you but also hard for me to give advice as I am pretty much the opposite. Just do what makes you feel comfortable and maybe speak to others that are a little bit shy like yourself. Everyone gets anxious and it is scary in first year when you have to live with strangers, but your confidence will grow! x

[@MusicMediaShows]

@@EmilyRoseFisher Thank you so much emily!!! This made my day!!!

[@emilyday7574]

Did you meet many people who would commute in to uni? If so did they tell you what it was like and whether they made many new friends or not? X

[@EmilyRoseFisher]

I don't know anyone who did that no, sorry! I'm sure you would make friends on your course though x

[@faye5711]

what age can you go to uni?

[@emcarson]

From 18 to any age

[@jennyholloway8192]

I'm going to Uni and I'm 17

[@emcarson]

when will you be 18?

[@jennyholloway8192]

Emily Carson November, it's because I'm from Scotland if I lived in England I'd be in the year below

[@emcarson]

didnt know that, thats so weird, I was not ready for uni at 17 ahah

[@ebony994]

could you do a video on how you picked your uni????

[@EmilyRoseFisher]

My decision was pretty easy, Solent is the only university in the UK that offer the course I am on 😂 x

[@LaurenJade-hc7ny]

For you beauty promotion course did you buy the MAC kit and did you need to take in your own brushes? I’m starting the course in Sept at solent x

[@EmilyRoseFisher]

I did, because I felt like I should but turns out it's not compulsory. You might want to if you've not got much experience with makeup already, but I could have got away with it considering I have a whole makeup artistry kit anyway. As for brushes, not many people bought them. But you'll need a decent makeup kit with similar items to the MAC one (if you choose not to buy it) and some clean brushes to use on other people. I hope you love the course! And if have Alexia for your lecturer for the makeup unit tell her I said hi! xxx

[@poppunkemily]

what lip colour are you wearing

It's just a KIKO lip liner in the shade '403' and some clear gloss x
