 Hi, hello, hi, welcome back to my channel. Welcome to another video as you can see today We're my living room slash dining room slash kitchen slash a showcase for this lovely wallpaper But I'm finally getting my roommates, although I don't know where they are. And here is one of them now Hey, this is Sophie. Anyway today. We're filming a Nambo's mukbang obviously 2000 years later. Hi, so we finally got third one in this is Sophie. Right, can we talk about this for a second? It's love. Get plain chips at Nambo's. We all get literally the exact same thing. Well, welcome to our uni house This is the first like proper video I'm filming is. It's so exciting. Anyway, as you can see we've got Nambo's I'm just gonna do a mukbang talk about uni I always get like most of my questions are obviously about uni because it's the majority of the content I make. So yeah, we're gonna talk about uni, talk about our first year. Give you some advice. The main question is always like, well, let's answer how we met. I would say the only reason I have any friends is because of Facebook group chat Facebook group. So I joined a Freshers group on Facebook and if I'm being honest this might sound really bad But I went through all the members of the group and I like looked at who I thought I could be friends with I'm basically looking for people who might be similar to me. I found Molly who's one of my friends who actually dropped our bot She was at the uni for two weeks and also Ellie. I don't know how I found Ellie. She was a student. She was a junior I really can't remember but I must have been from a Facebook thing or a WhatsApp group chat But yeah, so then from that Facebook group I found a link to a Butler group chat and Butler was the building that I was Like the halls I was staying in. So then I joined that and then maybe Ellie messaged me from there But either way, I found people on like the internet and then started messaging them before uni even started And then through Molly, she went to school with Sophie. So I met Molly and I met Sophie And then obviously I was talking to Ellie who introduced me to Sophia And then I met Sophia through Gemma And then look at us now. What was what's my tip somehow to make friends? I didn't do any kind of Facebook group chats. I didn't think about that. I don't know how you figured out about that But I didn't really think about that because my friends from other unis want them so I was like oh shoot I need to like get on that I moved in to my uni halls the first day I could so that's like when the first students were going in so there was no one else there And then I pretty much was by myself for the first night. I was eating dinner by myself in the kitchen And by the kitchen there's like a large window and I saw a group of students walk by And then they knocked on my window. Do you know anyone around here? No, I don't know anyone They were like join this group chat which was the group chat for the halls we were living in Which happened to be the same one as me Exactly and then through that I got the names of the people that will be moving in to my hall I met Ellie there and then we spent the first week together and then you moved in that week later So yeah and then we met But I do think like joining Facebook chats and then whatsapp group chats is like Yeah whatever social media they have snapchat ones But really important because otherwise you'll get there and be like oh my god Like I'd met Molly before I went but we see she wasn't even living there She was commuting so that wasn't very helpful But because I was already talking to Ellie before I got there she was like oh you're here And then like at least I knew like there was at least one person I could go and see And I wouldn't sit and eat my dinner by myself like you But yeah that really helped one. I found most of my flat from whatsapp before I joined as well So definitely get on those because otherwise I don't know where I'd be So don't be scared to talk to people first Like don't be scared to introduce yourself Totally Yeah Don't do everything you're invited to Yeah in the first week You need to because that will help you so much You'll meet so many people that's even if the people that invite you Like you don't think you're going to be friends with like you'll meet other people there Exactly It's kind of hard to answer a lot of the questions there because We were in lockdown for most of the second time Yeah We only lived there for three months So if you've never lived there at all Yeah Obviously I didn't really apply in our year because of Covid But I know this year like we're going to join a lot of like clubs and stuff So yeah So yeah that's definitely another way for people It's just like who are also probably similar to you Like if we want to do like dance and cheer So obviously like if you're doing that in first year And you don't know anyone Chances are you're going to meet a lot of people who are like really similar to you So I always get a lot of questions about like accommodation So obviously we both lived in halls We have to be in the same one so I've not got like the broadest view on it But I mean we've been to other people's halls and we've seen So she's been all around block And also like what to bring because I feel like a lot of people bring like a ridiculous amount of stuff To uni that they definitely don't need So our accommodation process was like We basically got this in every single type of accommodation And we had to put them in order We didn't choose like a top five or a top three or whatever Which I know other unis do We go to the Royal Hollywood University of London by the way I don't think I said that You might not have heard of it I haven't either But yeah we ended up getting ones that we really liked Our accommodation is very expensive though Because we're technically a uni of London And we had a really nice one We had a double bed And an ensuite Which most variations don't give And we shared a kitchen between eight people And I was nervous at first that actually it's not that bad Because not all eight people are in the kitchen at the same time Most of the time there's no one else or one person in the bedroom And you have like two sinks and two bridges Yeah And also usually you all like bring your mates in So even if there is other people Like even if you don't get on with your flat It's not awkward Like we were We didn't not get on with our flats We were like best friends with them It's not like awkward at all I don't think Although sometimes really annoying is people don't do the washing up And then the sinks get stacked And then you can't do your own washing up Didn't enjoy that part of it Yeah But you just have to deal with that stuff You just have to speak to them And you'll get through it only a year This sounds so encouraging You will get through it You will survive it No but if you do end up with not the nicest people Yeah It's not the end of the world No like you end up spending most of your time In your friends' kitchen Exactly Anyway Like most of my meals I was either cooking in your kitchen Or Ellie's kitchen or whoever's Or you were cooking in mine Like we don't really do that much by myself Exactly I barely do it by myself actually No Other than like breakfast sometimes I would say one of the most important things to bring to actual accommodation Is like extra storage boxes Yeah And slippers She knows about that Yeah I've got my slippers And slippers Oh my god The floors are disgusting You can't do this or flip-flops or something Because you cannot walk outside your room Without having shoes on It's so gross Yeah That is definitely the most essential Oh Extension cords Because there's like two plugs and everything Also Our entire I mean maybe this is because of COVID But our entire year was online I never printed off a single thing I never had to write anything down Everything's online It's so much more organized For all your notes to be on your laptop anyway That way as long as you're saving them You're not going to lose them You're docked You don't want to be carrying like a massive bag Where I'm with notebooks and stuff in there And you don't use them Like I bought so many folders And like stationery And notepads and stuff Didn't use a single thing One essential I would recommend is What are those things called That you save things onto Like the little drive Yeah Because I nearly lost all of my work In first year when I was doing one assignment And it was very stressful time Because I hadn't saved anything That extended That's why I say do it on Google Docs Because then you can get onto it from any computer Or your iCloud or whatever Even if you're using the library You can get it onto Google Docs Annoying thing is you can't make folders On Google Docs Oh and bring enough socks and underwear Because you won't do washing Yeah you barely do washing I think we use the washing machine Like four times Yeah it's a pity every single time It's so expensive And washing tablets are expensive as well So the whole thing is just horrendous So buying toilet roll is a big shock to the system But you're gonna have to do it Okay do we talk about a bit about like The actual workload And like our courses I do management and marketing So if he does business management It's basically the same course Nothing we've done has been different yet What do you do madam? Psychology I would honestly say That the workload of first year at least Obviously that's all we've got to go off It ain't that deep Like it really wasn't that much Compared to like obviously I had a whole year off I'd had a gap year These two were babies So they didn't And I was so used to doing nothing For a year obviously I mean half it was in lockdown So I literally did nothing I did three science at A levels And honestly compared to those two years I think first year really was not that bad I don't think the actual amount is bad But I mean I would just say Like don't leave it till the last minute Like we did with some of them I know it's easy to say And we'll probably still do the same thing this year But it just makes everything Ten times more stressful And then you get to the point where you You can't really ask the lecturers questions Because you've left it till so last minute It's embarrassing to be like I'm just not starting with you Just look at what everything is due And when it's due so you can plan out How long you need because Especially in first year They like to make all of the assignments Due in the same week Like we have four massive essays due They're all worth 70% of that module Literally within three days of each other Yeah so it's completely independent Like you could literally do zero hours a week If you wanted to So you have so much free time That it's really easy to feel like You've not got anything to do And like just not do any work And then suddenly you've got to do All of it at one go And also like they don't Explain things as well as they do in school Like it's less workload But you don't get things laid out for you You have to figure out a lot by yourself I'm not talking my lettuces Yeah so it's tickers out as well This looks great So we were stressed Second year housing You basically have to decide it by like January And you have to start looking before that We actually never viewed our house Obviously because like Covid They basically wouldn't let us So that was a bit of gamble I wouldn't recommend doing that But it's really stressful Because you have to kind of choose You're going to live with in first term And luckily for us like There's still friends But like our little chat That we have in Snapchat now Is called homeless Because we literally thought We weren't going to be able to find a house Because they were all just going And we couldn't find any that liked And they weren't very nice about it In January You wouldn't think that Everyone has a house by January But they do Like people are organizing it like first term It's because third year students Will get it as soon as like If they're happy with their house They'll get it for next year as well So it's like But yeah I would definitely say Start looking early Even if you don't know exactly What you're going to live with Just try and look at some houses And see like What the price range is Like you need to get people Who are kind of in the same budget as you Or just someone who's really rich And um She actually pays for that too She pays the whole house Yeah because you want the biggest room I pay £3 more Not enough if you ask me But also I think at the end of the day Like even if you move in with people Who you're not best friends with anymore By the time you move in Everyone sees each other Like we go around to other people's houses All the time Like you're not trapped in that house And uni hasn't even started yet And once it does You're going to be busy all the time And like one of our friends is living with people That she doesn't even really know that well And like it's fine Like she just She'll just spend time with Who you want to spend time with Like don't overthink it that much The most important thing is Actually having someone to live Because as we know Not having a house Causes a lot of tension In the group But yeah I don't think there's really anything Any other big questions I get Other than like how do you find your course And no don't you can't bring your car to campus Especially not on our campus Most campuses like if it's an actual campus uni You can't bring your car So just forget it No I always get asked that I had a bailiff So what they called Yeah they did want to send bailiffs So that's what they called Bailiffs Yeah You got fined then I had bailiffs coming to my house I just didn't pay Because they didn't pay They came to your house So they were going to Yeah because they saved most of the car Parking spaces for like People who are commuting and stuff Anyway If you've got
