5 tips to support your mental health:
- It’s not just you who feels new and a bit unsure of things, chances are everyone else does too even if they don’t show it
- You’ll probably need to talk to quite a few people before you meet the people you connect to, don’t worry if you don’t hit it off with the first people you meet
- You don’t have to change yourself in order to fit in: find the people who enjoy the same sorts of things you do rather than pretend to be a different person to who you are
- Don’t be too hard on yourself if you’re not acing every aspect of university life straight away, just being there and finding your feet is good enough to start with
- Still struggling? There are support systems at every uni, talk to your personal tutor or university counselling services, don’t feel you have to work it all out on your own
