Starting Uni can be exciting but it can also come with feelings of anxiety, stress and nervousness. During such a big transitional period (moving out of home, moving to a new city, starting a new learning journey) these feelings are completely normal. Below are some of our top tips for helping you to look after your mental health when starting university.
Socialising
When moving somewhere new, where you may not know anyone, it’s important not to isolate yourself. Make sure that you integrate yourself in uni life and make the most of the 100s of societies and sports clubs that your university has to offer. From Gaelic Football to Anime & Manga to Baking, at uni there’s a society or club for everyone. These societies and clubs are an excellent way to make new friends and really immerse yourself in your university community.
