Our top tips for staying well as a student living away from home.
Personalise your space
Bring your favourite belongings to your new living space and take ownership of your new home.
Eat well
Staying well stems directly from eating well. Reaching your fruit and veg quota each day is an easy way to achieve this.
Find balance
Find something you like doing outside your course and studies. Research the societies that your University has to offer.
Sports teams and other social activities are a great way to integrate into your new community and meet like-minded people who share similar interests.
Remember it’s never too late to start a new hobby or join a society!
Explore
Get to know your new home.
Walking tours in and around both the university campus and city are great ways to familiarise yourself with your new home.
Find the hidden spots of beauty amongst the hustle and bustle.
Socialise
Take some time to unplug and disconnect from the online world.
Dedicate some time to getting to know the people around you – ask the simple, the exciting and the funny questions.
Meeting new people can seem a daunting prospect but just remember – they will be feeling exactly the same as you! Be the warm, welcoming smile for someone else.
