More Serious Advice:
- Don't blow it -all- in the first two weeks. Most students get their grant/loan paychecks and go wild. Bad idea.
- Stick with it! Most drop-outs are in the first few weeks. Everything will seem very scary at first, new people, new places, but persevere. It all gets better in time.
- Look for any extra-curricular clubs or activities to meet up with people with similar interests. There are lots of those.
- If you're sharing accommodation, try and be pro-active - keep things clean, do your laundry regularly, don't play music at awkward hours. A happy housemate is a train-able housemate.
Less Serious Advice
- Imagine every lecturer naked. It helps.
- If sharing accommodation, the answer is yes. Those squeaking noises are exactly what they think you are.
- If sharing accommodation, they know what you do in the bathroom, and no. They don't want to help.
- They're all secretly out to get you. This is all an elaborate obstacle course designed to test you by the aliens on Mars. However, they want to kill you at the end of it. To thwart this, you must wear a cap of tin foil at all times to protect your thoughts, and stand on your head for thirty minutes each day. In public. While naked. Singing "I'm a little teapot".
