University Dos and Don’ts: Here’s How to Get the Best Out of Your Student Experience When Meeting New People

Thu 21 Sep 2023

One of the best parts about transitioning to university and moving to a brand new city is the opportunity to widen your friendship circle and meet people from all across the country - and even the globe. For lots of people, it can be daunting coming into a brand new environment with expectations created by the likes of social media, trashy teen movies, and older siblings.

But the uncertainty of who you will meet and spend at least the next three years with should be an exciting prospect.
