The beginning of the academic year is already underway and if you’ve moved into a new place, it can be quite daunting yet thrilling. Moving out, meeting new people and starting an abundance of different classes can be one of the most exciting and life changing experiences you will ever face. So, below we have listed the top 3 tips you can follow in order to make the most of your time here in Preston while living in student accommodation!
Take advantage of where you’re living
For the next nine months are more, this is going to be your home so it’s important to make the most of while you’re there. Maybe start with adding pictures, posters or photos to your room to add a touch of homeliness and nostalgia. Introduce yourself to the people you’re going to be living with straight away, you’re going to be spending a lot of time with them so it’s best to get any awkwardness out of the way early.
If you’re not from around Preston, make sure you have a tour of what the city has to offer. It’s a big place full of wonder and excitement and you can explore everything while you’re here!
Scrape together as much information about Freshers as you can
You can do this by heading over to the Students Union and find out which nights are the best to go out on and see which events stand out to you the most. It’s more than the nights out, it’s a chance to see what is expected at university and get to grips with the upcoming year.
Pitch in around the house
Make sure you do your bit around the house, flat or wherever you’re staying and split the chores among your flatmates. Nobody likes a dirty flat, and nobody especially likes the person who refuses to clean up after themselves. Sort it out early to avoid any arguments later on!
