Moving away to Univerisity

In two months, I will be moving away to a different city and I will be living completely independently. This is a scary time in my life and it would be for a lot of other people at this time of year. I didn't want to write a post about my journey to university in a few months, because by that point, everyone would have already moved and some people may want advice now. I am writing this post pre-uni to also help people in a similar situation.

So the first thing that I have figured out during these few months is do not stress to much. Moving away from home for the first time or starting uni is supposed to be an exciting opportunity. I know having to pack your life up can be stressful and there are lots of questions you have about university that have not yet been answered, but there are millions of people in the exact same position. It will all be okay. Write a list of the essentials to take to university with you, research the place your staying and the university and talk to others who are also moving away to help answer your questions. Do not stress about this experience, because by the time you get their, it will no longer be exciting.

You will not need to pack your whole room and ship it off with you. There will be minimal things that you need. After doing some research about what to take, you obviously need your essentials, such as towels, bedding, pots and pans, ect. These are important to take, but if that's all you take, it won't feel much like home. Take things that remind you of home or your friends, such as pictures, items from our room that you treasure or anything else, but also remember, university rooms are not huge.

Become familiar with where you are so when you arrive, it's like you know your way around already. The university I will be at is pretty close. Everything is on one campus which is helpful. A lot of universities are all over the place, such as London universities. The accommodation could be 20 minutes away from your lectures, so I have found it helpful to look at the area around the university to find where things area. It's also good to have an idea of where the shops and supermarkets are and which are close to you so when you arrive and need to do your shopping, you'll have an idea. This will make it less daunting.

If you would like any other advice, leave a comment below and I'll be sure to answer them. I will be uploading more university related posts over the next month or so, so keep an eye out for them. Good luck with your journey to university.

An adventure awaits you
