First Day at University

I am now going to briefly interrupt my series on "What to Take to University" to look at your first day. As that time is drawing nearer for students this year, I thought it would be a good idea to help you to understand everything you will need to do when you arrive at your respective universities. This information will come in another series of articles over the upcoming weeks. Future information to look out for includes:

> When You Arrive
> Moving In
> Meeting Your Flatmates
> Registering Yourself
> Sorting Your Student Finance
> Your First Night

As we go through this, I will attempt to explain everything you should need to know, before you arrive, about your first day. Obviously, some universities may have specific procedure for your arrival, and if this is the case you may well have to ignore the order that I suggest you follow (going down the list). I will help you decide which documents to take where and when, and how to make your first day comfortable and enjoyable.

I know from personal experience that your first day at university can be very stressful, and a lot of it is due to just plain having no idea what you are meant to be doing. So, hopefully through this some of the pressure will be taken off, and you will be able to have fun and have a carefree first day.

Look out for future articles on your first week at university.
