Student Life
UK Student Survival Guide, Your First Term at University
What every new UK undergraduate should know in their first term, academic, social and practical.
Academic
Attend every seminar in week one, that's where module expectations get set. Find your academic skills service early; everyone needs them eventually.
Social
Say yes to most things in week one, then ruthlessly prune in week three. Two or three societies you actually engage with beat eight you never attend.
Practical
Register with a GP near your accommodation. Set up your Council Tax exemption. Open a UK student bank account if you don't already have one. Learn one cheap, healthy meal you can cook in under 20 minutes.
