What was your first week at university like?
Here's what people in London said:
"First week at university was really exciting and there's so much to look forward to and
so…there's a new life ahead of you and you're looking at future plans and what am I
going to be doing five years from now. But generally speaking, one word to sum it up is
really, really excited about university life."
"It was so exciting to have new experiences with new friends, feeling independent and
free."
"Basically I made lots of friends which helped me live sociably in London and at this
university. For me it was a really great experience."
"It was exciting and I was a little bit scared as well because it was completely different
for me. And I tried to get new friends and new people and I managed within a short time
to get acquainted with a number of people."
