I am going to let you in on 50 secrets that you should keep in mind before starting at the University of the West of England. However many of these you can apply to starting at any university. For many of you this may be the first time you have been away from home so long, but don’t worry, there are definitely more things to be excited about on this adventure than to fear! As a UWE Marketing student who is about to go into her second year… I can vouch for how quickly the first years at UWE go by, so just make the most of the experience.
This event takes place during freshers week, it’s loud, it’s busy, it’s amazing. I spent about 3 hours there and left with 7 bags full of free stuff. So many of my housemates didn’t go and missed out.
1 is realistic, 2 at most. You’ll be struggling to find time to do more.
This is a great part-time job at the university, choose when you want to work and get to know your campus by showing round students and their parents.
Do as much as you can. AND GO TO FRESHERS FAIR!

Maybe even student credit card.

Use this time to make mistakes and learn from them, if your doing a placement year employers will want to know what grade you got in your first year.
Use 2 hour gaps between lectures and free days to catch up on reading, coursework or revision. Then you can watch your Holly-oaks episode stress free.
You WILL see people walking around the library in their pajamas if you are there at 3 am.
If you have a car or someone that can take you, the American style cash and carry is a great way to buy in bulk. Only 20 minute drive from UWE Frenchay campus.
