Last year the most common worry communicated by our new students was that of homesickness and the fear of not making friends.

We wrote a really helpful blog post: Nervous about starting university? We can help! that highlights the most common concerns and provides information on some of the support and opportunities available to alleviate your worries!

Some of the dates say 2024, but don't worry the support available is still there when you come in 2025!
