UK students: what do you wish you had known before going to university?

This article is more than 1 year old

We would like to hear from students and recent graduates about their tips for freshers

We are compiling advice for this year’s university freshers – and who better to ask than students themselves?

We would like to hear about the things you wish you’d known before going to university in the UK. How did you decide which university to go to, and what do you wish you’d done differently? What preparation turned out to be invaluable – and what do you wish you’d done? What are the best things to bring to uni, and what can you leave at home?

If you’re a student or a recent graduate, share your tips below.
