Top Tips For Starting University to Graduation

Top tips for starting university

Think of university like work experience for your new career. Be organised and build a network.
Join Clubs and Societies, but don’t over-do it, and keep a lifestyle balance.
Don’t leave your problems until they’re critical. Use the social services such as councillors and tutors.
Don’t clutter your Uni life. Pack the essentials only.
Research your University before you get there, familiarise yourself with the campus layout and the area so you’re not so overwhelmed when you get there.

Dress appropriately. Break in your shoes and wear light clothes. Those gowns can be heavy!
Gowns don’t have pockets! Wear something small under your gown for necessities like your phone.
Wear your cap. A ‘classic’ look sits straight on top but you can balance it on the back to retain your hairstyle.
Don’t rush! Take your time, this is a momentous occasion. You don’t want to trip or fall and don’t forget to give a nod to the person giving the award.
Be yourself. These are the last moments of graduation, nothing else matters but these moments so you should enjoy them!
