How to Prepare for University
Starting your university course this September" Caroline Rayner from the University of Suffolk shares her top tips for new students
If you’re beginning your life at university at the end of the summer, you have a very exciting three or four years ahead of you ? you’ll make new friends, study a subject or field that you enjoy, and develop skills that will hopefully land you a graduate job that you love.
The time between finishing your exams and starting university might seem like it will go on forever, but will pass by quicker than you think. Save yourself the stress and panic of preparing everything last minute ? and start planning now!
Check off the basics
Apply for a student bank account, and have a look online to see which banks provide the best rates and deals for students. Start to calculate a budget based on your Student Finance schedule.
Think about what you need to pack, including cutlery and other cooking utensils, towels and bedding, a hoover, and an iron (yes, some students do actually use these). Avoid splashing out on expensive items, as they may get lost or broken.
Get everything you need to help make your student accommodation as homely as possible
Check in advance where and when you will need to enrol once you arrive. Your university will probably contact you with a set time and location.
Find out which kind of events will run during Freshers’ Week. You might have to apply for a wristband before you start in order to take part...
