If your student room feels like home, it will make settling in that much easier. Bring some things from home that you love, get some nice bedding, a snuggly blanket – whatever it is that will make your student accommodation feel like home, even if it is only temporary.

If you get to know the people you’re living with, you’ll soon make friends with them, and that will make living in your student accommodation much more enjoyable. Hang out in the kitchen, or leave your door open, and make sure you say hi!

We hope you’re looking forward to starting uni!
