2 Get Social
Make full use of social networks like Facebook and Twitter and Instagram. Not only can you connect with new friends and find out more about them but you can also stay in touch with friends and family. Keeping up to date with family and friend’s updates will help you to feel connected with home.
Universities also have Facebook and Twitter accounts which allows you to interact with staff and lecturers and keep up to date with events on campus. Be sure to follow the student union’s Facebook or Twitter accounts so you do not miss opportunities to socialise with fellow students.
