This page is designed to be a blog type page. I will try to keep people updated so that people who are applying to university can get a feel as to what life is like at university. This includes any university, but will be mainly focused around Southampton University. For more information about my Course, please look at the 'My Course' page.When I first arrived at University, I was very nervous. Who am I going to live with? Am I going to have a horrible room? Will people like me? These were some of the questions running through my head.Whilst I cannot guarantee you will have great housemates, or that your room will be great, I can guarantee that you will find people you will get on with. University is so different from life at home, in that there are people here who you would have never met before, from a range of backgrounds and cultures. My advice to you, is to get out there and talk to everybody and anybody. It's a strange feeling when there is a large group of people who don't know each other. But if you get to know people, and as soon as possible, then it's likely those connections you make will last throughout university. Being 6 weeks into my University life now, I have met people that I talk to, even if it isn't very often. However the people that I have never met, or didn't speak to over the first few weeks, have got their own friends, and it is unlikely that they will play a major role in my University life during the duration of my course.One thing that Southampton did well, was set up events that made you get to know people. Electronics and Computer science students in particular got shoved into a series of activities that made us interact with people, especially our tutor group. I feel this has helped our tutor group now, as we all know each other, and are therefore comfortable working together. See the 'My Tutor Group' Page for links to my tutor groups personal websites.One of the things I would recommend to do when you get to university is to join as many societies as you can. Even if you don't attend them all, or don't join the official team, it is a great way to meet people (especially people in other years, and with different experiences to you). See the 'My Societies' page for more information about the societies I have joined and attend.Something that is very different when you get to university is that you are in complete control of your life. Everything, from what food and drink you buy, when you go out, when you work, when you sleep, what you spend your money on, and many other aspects, are completely down to you. What this can lead to, is people wasting their money, not working hard enough, or not getting enough sleep. My recommendation is to plan and budget accordingly. It is easy to order takeaways, but they are expensive and not healthy. It's easy to go out every night, but when that deadline comes up you will regret it.
