An Introvert's Guide to Freshers Week

"Get involved, sure, but take things at your own pace and try not to put too much pressure on yourself.""Keep a journal to become familiar with the types of situations that overstimulate you, so you can better manage your social life and avoid situations that stress you out.""Homesickness at uni isn’t fun but give yourself time, stay busy and it will pass."

  • How uni is different from school, grade expectations, tutours and more!
  • What to do before you arrive.
  • How to access your reading list (you don't need to read the books! Refer to them to help with lectures).
  • How to get involved with the Imperial community.

This is a great resource to ease you into British Culture, understand the etiquette, social codes and lifestyle of Brits! For example:

UK Culture

  • Brits place a very strong emphasis on politeness. It's expected that you offer a polite greeting or smile when you meet someone.
  • Football and especially the Premier League is a national obsession! A lot of students like to visit the Union to watch the games after lectures, over a pint of beer!
  • Don't be loud on public transport, offer your seat to elderly people and stand on the left on escalators.

"It is true. Socialising as a commuter is much more difficult. The tubes shut at midnight, you don’t have the convenience of your accommodation being a short walk away and most importantly you aren’t shoved into halls with a bunch of strangers and forced to get to know one another. However, you most definitely can have an active, thriving social life as a commuter and I’m going to give you five golden tips that have helped me so far in making friends this term."

Making Friends as a Commuter Student

Have a read at the detailed guide! It may seem simple, but uni life is quite different to school. You will need to make more of an effort and take action to make and maintain your friendships from now and onwards as you enter adult life. "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
