Having photos of friends and family was so comforting during first year! I think people expect uni to be the most exciting and fun experience ever but it can be scary and overwhelming, especially during freshers. So having things to comfort you and remind you of home such as photos is the best thing ever. I bought some fairy lights with clips to put photos on that I put up using command hooks. I also recommend a cuddly toy and a sleep mask as well - I'd never used them before but found them really comforting and made sleeping easier. Would really recommend buying a wheelie shopping bag (I got mine for cheap at B&M) and this means you can buy a lot more and not die carrying bags back from the shops 😂. Definitely also bring slippers or flip flops because uni halls can get dirtyyy! I found my main textbook on Ebay as a pdf version for like £2 which was worth over £100 in print so this was great! I also recommend buying a printer as this makes it a lot easier to print notes and resources without having to go to the university library. All of my friends brought one to uni for second semester without knowing we'd all decided this so that says it all really 😂 I'm at the University of Leeds going into second year so if anyone has any questions about this uni or any general uni questions please let me know ☺❤

I'm sorry but Unite Students don't comunicate with their students, we had to beg for them not to charge us rent in third term and they wouldn't tell us anything at all until May time. I don't even have a phone number to get hold of them. If anyone has a phone number for them PLEASE let me know what it is
@hannahdaly974 жыл бұрын
As someone who has lived with Unite Students for the last two years, they never told us they would not charge us for the last term. I still had to pay my last final payment as there was no communication between them and us. I wasn't sure if I'd be able to get home before my contract ran out, and I was told I would have to pay to continue staying there. Even though I had looked on their website during the pandemic and it said that they wouldn't charge students to stay there over the summer if they couldn't get home. Thankfully I managed to get home a month before my contract ended

definitely have to agree with buying all your textbooks second hand - I got all mine off ebay/amazon and it saved me so much!! for science in particular, the facts haven't changed too much in the past 10 years (not for fundamentals that you cover in your first few years), so you can easily get a textbook that's a couple of editions old (I got my favourite textbook for £3 instead of £60 and it's been invaluable - plus the latest edition is always available in the library if I need something new and very specific)

LOVE the lavender spray, didn't know they did a roll on- good tip. Coloured lights regulate your mood... interesting. Defo bring a mix of comfy and more fancy/going out clothes. Yes, do some cooking... find some easy videos on YT. Bananas are great, good for the time of the month too (have peppermint tea on hand for that too) and salads too. Amazon second hand very good/like new quality books are so good and much more worth it than first hand books. Parkinson's law... a task will fill to fit the time you give it. Oh my days!

during my first semester I definitely had to get used to buying and cooking for myself so much and I relatively soon just started to cook some very similar dishes each week but they were still good and mildly creative. and so helpful for shopping. like pasta on one day (tbh probably more), rice on another, a big salad on a third, lentils/couscous on a fourth and potatoes in some form on a fifth and then just change up the vegetables or souces that go with those. and it worked surprisingly well and i took me over half a year to get kind of sick of that but by then i had learned to cook some other stuff that also goes quickly and could start the second semester with a bigger range of things that still made my shopping easy.

It depends on the uni - some unis use different referencing styles.

I would wait until you’ve chosen your firm and insurance choice in late year 13 and then find out which referencing style your uni uses. There are loads of online tutorials out there that are really helpful!
