- Get involved in new things: maybe an athletic club or something more unconventional, such as a Quidditch society.
- Assert your independence. No mum and no dad, it’s up to you …
- Nobody can tell you when to get up – or go to bed for that matter.
- Dance like no one’s watching – because nobody actually is.
- Discover a whole new city, and make the most of it – it’s your new home.
- Make new friends – some may even become lifelong.
- Be whoever you want – or even better, just be yourself.
- Learn to cook something other than an egg. A good starter recipe is spaghetti bolognese – the student’s staple food.
- Get a student discount card – loads of places suddenly start giving you 10% off. Cinemas are cheaper than before, and a new computer becomes that little bit more affordable.
- Enjoy it and learn something new. Not just about your chosen subject, but also about yourself.
