Welcome Top Tips

Welcome is so much more than a week 💚

Not everyone meets their best mates in the first week (and no one knows their way around campus!).

We’re with you every step of your University journey, whether you want to meet some new mates, try something new or just have a place to relax between lectures.

Making friends: Everyone’s in the same boat! 👯

You might feel like everyone around you knows way more people than you, but everyone starting Uni feels exactly the same!

If you’re looking for ways to meet some new mates, societies are a great place to start.

Get to know them a little better at our Refreshers Fair or come to one of our Give it a Go to meet new mates from across campus.
