what the FIRST TERM of UNI is really like...

[@IsobelleLily]

Lool I went to uni for a year and it just wasn’t for me I felt out of place, it’s not for everyone and I think people need to know that thats ok🤷🏼‍♀️xx

[@meganshort]

yeah that’s so true !! should have maybe talked more about that!

[@CarlaSilva-iy4xk]

I have a question - let’s say you start uni , and within like 2-4 months you decide to leave, what happens to the money that you’ve borrowed from the government (honestly I have no idea if you’ll be able to answer this question because idk whether you’re well off or not)

[@daisybarrett2940]

Carla Silva because you pay per term, if you left after one term you’d only have to pay back however much maintenance loan/tuition loan you borrowed for that term

[@Laura-en7nj]

So glad you talked about the loneliness feeling at uni! I felt the exact same at the start and can still occasionally. Great to hear it’s not just me as no one talks about it!

[@meganshort]

i got your back girl, so happy to hear it’s getting easier !🥰

[@hannahg6627]

unfortunately it isn't very well advertised/ respected that your parents are meant to make up the difference between the max student loan and what you get. sadly this means loads of students are struggling for money :(

[@Emmasx.]

I did maths & further maths a level and ended up doing a business apprenticeship aha so it really doesn’t matter what subjects you choose x

[@MoreOrLessJess]

Watching this as I move to uni next week ahhhhh. My brothers just gone to Leeds and his rent is the same with a similar loan. Whereas mines a lot cheaper as I’m in Wales x

[@leokelly7]

I do GCSE art! Haven’t got a clue what job I wanna do😂 I’ll try not to stress too much for GCSEs in May! 😬🤞🏼

[@meganshort]

wishing u luck!!🥰

[@leokelly7]

megan short thanks Megan! 😊

[@claireward548]

Just finished my first term doing English and American Literature, currently watching this instead of doing my assignments! 😂 ngl I have struggled to find a solid group of friends despite trying with flatmates, course mates and the society I joined, even at my new part time job, everyone’s nice we just haven’t clicked. On a plus side i manage my money a bit better not going out 😂 but yeah, anyone got any advice?x

[@katherinedavies8029]

claire ward I had the same problem in my 1st year. So instead of going into a house with people I wasn’t friends with I went back to halls and it was the best decision I ever made. I now have a close group of friends and we’re all got a house for next year. So I’d advice not just jumping into a house for the sake of moving out if you’re not 100%.

[@Nik-dc4ti]

@@katherinedavies8029 I didn't realise that you could go back to halls after 1st year? Is it uni specific or..?

[@gemcockrell]

Katherine Davies I have a friend who is also doing this! She didn’t have anyone she felt comfortable enough to move into a house with! I think it’s so good that it’s still an option :)

[@lolfacephoobear]

Oh ahah my loan is 9k 😬😬

[@maisieferguson35]

i’m getting like £9,000 student loan and my rent for the year comes to £5,600

[@emilysreborns2589]

Stupid question, if you can’t find anyone to house share with what’s the plan 🙈

[@gemcockrell]

Emilys reborns I know people who are living in halls again, or are even commuting from home if they live close enough (but I know that this is obviously not an option for most people!). But second years can still live in halls, I have a friend who is doing that! But I think most people just end up house sharing with their flat from first year, so if you are staying in halls in first year, then you’re pretty much guaranteed to have people to live with. Also, if you don’t mind living with strangers, there’s always Facebook pages where people are advertising rooms, so you could always live with them! If you talk to them beforehand, you can figure out whether they’re your type of people/whether you get on with them, before you commit to living with them, or you can always meet up with them to see! Obviously I know that not everyone is comfortable with living with people they don’t know very well who they just found on a Facebook page, but that’s always an option too. I hope this helps!

[@daisyshepherd]

Is it only Facebook chats or can it be another platform? xx

[@IsmayRose]

Idk why I’m watching this when I’m already in my 2nd year of uni

[@yolandaramirez5394]

[@louiserose3471]

Can you make a 'why im STILL vegan' video, im seeing too many 'why im no longer a vegan' ones. Think it will be good to send a positive aspect on the topic 😊

[@ellieg2406]

When choosing your halls did you specify to be with all girls or was it just a coincidence?x

[@CarlaSilva-iy4xk]

It was a coincidence, all the girls in her accommodation put mix

[@mercy871]

Some unis they ask mixed or single sex
