WE’RE HERE
SETTLING INTO UNI
I remember the first few months at university were the hardest to adapt to. Not only was I ill and wanting the comfort of home but I was quite shy and felt as though I couldn’t connect to my flatmates who all wanted to go out partying most of the time. I am aware that others feel or have felt similar emotions at university but it is important to know and understand that you are not alone and do not have to deal with things by yourself. Sometimes, university can feel like a lonely place but having people accept and care about your wellbeing can help to off-set these feelings of isolation. It is also important to note that if you are too ill, you do not have to soldier on and make yourself worse (and feel as though you are in a rut) there are options for medical leave or extenuating circumstances.
You can access a range of student support services throughout your time at university to make not just your first few weeks at university an easier transition, but your whole time spent here at Swansea University as stress free and easy as possible.
