Advice for people starting university: Freshers week

The second video I am making that includes some of my advice for people who are going to uni in the next couple of weeks. This one is about freshers week.

They'll be another video up in the next few days with some tips about managing your money whilst at uni.

I hope it's helpful! As usual feel free to comment/message/email with any other questions you may have! My email address is jocy@acciojellybean.co.uk

See you all for the next video very soon (: xxx

Thanks again, great advice.

So far ive moved in, and talked to everyone on my floor, and a few more in the pub, and what's good is that there are about 2 people on my course on my floor.

Pretty much i have learnt that the kitchen is prime conversation territory.

And i plan on going to the freshers ball, but not clubbing.

And i might pop home as from the sounds of it most people around are leaving for a week for the courses to start, which for me is on the 22nd. But havent made my mind up

@rorrt Sounds like it's going brilliantly, I'm so pleased :D The kitchen was where everyone hung out at my Halls too, really social environment :D If you have the opportunity to stay on campus and get to know people better then I definitely recommend that, you could pop home just for a few days? Anyways I'm really glad you found my advice good and I'm pleased you're meeting loads of people (:

Loving your advice videos, thankyou sooooo much for doing them :D

Did you find out who you were sharing rooms with before you went to uni?xxxxxx

[AccioJellyBean]

@harrietgib You're welcome, I'm glad you like them :D I had a single room at uni but my Halls had a Facebook group for everyone to chat in before we moved in, and as everyone put their room number down I knew a few of the people I was living near beforehand! It was brilliant that way because it wasn't like meeting strangers (:

Wow, I'm soooo glad I found this video! I'm exactly the same as you - not really into clubbing and drinking excessive amounts of alcohol, so I'm really quite nervous about the Freshers week events. I start on the 2nd October, and I feel a lot better after watching your video.

I'm still a bit nervous about going up and talking to people or joining a group of people who already look like they're friends, but I've always been a bit like that. I'm just hoping it will come naturally!

Thank you!!
