Preparing For Your Move to University

Going to university for the first year is for many students the first time they have lived away from home and it is a big step and a big adjustment. Knowing what to expect can help you to settle in more quickly and be more confident and comfortable when you take that step into university life.

Preparing and planning early is important. Go and visit universities that you are interested in that offer the courses that you want to do. This way you can get a good feel for what they are like and decide whether you can see yourself settling there.

As well as the courses and the university itself, you also need to look into what accommodation you are going to be in. There are lots of places that you can find student accommodation in various cities with universities in them like this student accommodation Leicester based property westmanorstudentliving.co.uk and it is a good idea to think about your budget, as well as the location of the accommodation and what type of facilities it has to offer.

It is also worth knowing what to expect on the first few days when you arrive. Usually, you will be able to move into your accommodation a few days before term starts so you can unpack and get settled. You will then need to go to the university and enroll in your course. Once you have done this, you will have a timetable that you should become familiar with and also get to know the university and where you need to go to attend lectures.
