Advice for people starting university: Halls of Residence

This is the first part of a series of vlogs I will be uploading throughout September. Each video will contain some tips and advice for different elements of starting university.

Please comment if there are any specific questions you have, as I would love to try and help out.

And also, feel free to email me at jocy@acciojellybean.co.uk if you have any questions you want me to reply to there!

I hope this is helpful, and good luck to all the people going off to uni this year (: xxxx

Thanks, perfect timing! This is my second year of College in America, but I just transferred and now am living in a dorm!

I've never felt more like a freshman than I do know in a dorm, although i'm a sophomore haha.

@Mfisch016 Yeah I guess it's because of the new surroundings! Good luck (:

Even though I'm only just going into my second year of college I still find your videos very useful. It's also great that you're from the UK. I'm so excited for September next year now!

[AccioJellyBean]

@Cobrabite11 Yeah I did, it was a mistake and I'm in contact with the Partnership team at the moment who are trying to sort it out.

@Twilight19922008 If they are strict about walls then cover your wardrobe and any furniture (: And also, get white tac rather than blu tac as it doesn't leave the same stain! I had a single bed but I took a double duvet, and there was already a single duvet there, so I had a double and a single all year :P But I'd recommend taking a double just coz it's comfier! Yeah I could have been a senior resident but I wanted to live with my friends off campus, I've got a friend who's doing it though!

@TheSalmonShoes Yay that's where I'm at uni :D You'll love living in London, it's amazing!!! Well to be honest it's quite generic to start with, mostly saying your name and where you're from and what you're studying. And then conversation will flow and you'll instantly click with some people! Most of my best friends at uni are people I met in the first few days!
