For a lot of new students, it is your first time staying away from home. Or even your first time out of your hometown. This can bring out a lot of emotions as you adjust to university life, both happy and sad. But don&#8217;t worry. This is completely normal. And it\u2019s important to remember that you\u2019re not alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read on for ways to help you settle into university life and find your place in our community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Speak to someone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>Firstly, if you feel like things aren\u2019t quite going to plan, the best thing you can do is speak to someone. Your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edgehill.ac.uk\/news\/2024\/09\/personal-tutoring-and-you\/\">Personal Tutor<\/a> is there to help you navigate any academic or social challenges you may be facing. Offering a listening ear, they\u2019re there to discuss a whole host of things like academic abilities, personal development, hobbies, personal circumstances, health issues \u2013 the list goes on. And they can direct you to the right service if they\u2019re unable to help themselves. You can find out what to expect from your Personal Tutor, how to get the most out of your interactions and the circle of support, on our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edgehill.ac.uk\/news\/2024\/09\/personal-tutoring-and-you\/\">Personal tutoring and you webpage<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you would rather speak to someone outside your department, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edgehill.ac.uk\/departments\/support\/studentservices\/student-support-team\/\">Student Support team<\/a> are here to help. No problem is too big or too small to tackle together \u2013 just ask so we can help you get back on track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reach out to your friends and family too. Speaking to people you know can help avoid common feelings of homesickness or isolation. And don\u2019t hesitate to reach out to other students too. Many will be in a similar position, experiencing the same pressures and worries that you might be. You may realise it\u2019s helpful to speak to someone, like you, to get their perspective.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-src=\"\/\/www.edgehill.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Settling-into-uni-speak-to-someone-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"female student with female member of staff going into a meeting room in catalyst for an appointment\" class=\"wp-image-168827 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.edgehill.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Settling-into-uni-speak-to-someone-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.edgehill.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Settling-into-uni-speak-to-someone-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.edgehill.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Settling-into-uni-speak-to-someone-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.edgehill.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Settling-into-uni-speak-to-someone-640x360.jpg 640w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/576;\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get involved<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are plenty of ways to meet new people, from living in halls to people on your course. But sometimes friendships can take time to form. If you choose, there are lots of activities and events designed to help you meet new people that you can attend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our Student Life Team ensures that there is something for everyone on campus, whether that\u2019s pursuing your hobbies or diving into something new. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edgehill.ac.uk\/service\/student-life-portal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Student Life Portal<\/a> is your go-to to find out about all the exciting things that are happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edgehillsu.org.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Students&#8217; Union<\/a> also run a <a href=\"https:\/\/edgehillsu.native.fm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lot of events<\/a> on campus too. You can attend their weekly socials or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edgehillsu.org.uk\/groups#club-societyt#all\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">join a society<\/a> to connect with others who share the same interests as you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not everyone finds their lifelong friends as soon as they start university. Often the strongest friendships happen naturally and gradually. Each day is a chance to find your people and have fun along the way. Remember, everyone is in the same boat and friendships can be found in unexpected places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:23% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edgehill.ac.uk\/making-friends-at-university\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-src=\"\/\/www.edgehill.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/freya2-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Third year students Freya and Eva laughing\" class=\"wp-image-128239 size-full lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.edgehill.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/freya2-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.edgehill.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/freya2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.edgehill.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/freya2-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.edgehill.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/freya2-640x640.jpg 640w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/1024;\" \/><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-quotes is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Be yourself.

Try to check in with yourself often and ask yourself if there\u2019s anything you need. Make some regular \u2018you\u2019 time and aim to do the things you know make you feel good. Like eating right, sleeping well and looking after your physical and mental health. If you don\u2019t feel 100% then it will be harder for you to give 100%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meal planning can help, so it\u2019s good to have some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edgehill.ac.uk\/cheap-meals-for-students\/\">cheap and easy recipes<\/a> up your sleeve. Keeping active helps boost your self-esteem and confidence, and is a good way to meet people too. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edgehill.ac.uk\/departments\/support\/edgehillsport\/\">Edge Hill Sport<\/a> offer a range of free sport and fitness activities each week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edgehill.ac.uk\/departments\/support\/studentservices\/wellbeing\/\">Wellbeing team<\/a> can also help if you need emotional support or you\u2019re feeling anxious.
