My first impressions here at the university have been very good. During fresher’s week it hadn't really sunk in that I was at university and I am here to study because it felt more like a holiday, going out almost every night and not having any work to do or think about. It was only after fresher’s week when it actually began to feel real for me that I had left home and am starting a new chapter in my life down here at Essex.
At first I was
very excited about the whole idea of moving out and going to university, but as
the weeks closed I became very nervous about moving down to Essex. This is partly because it is so far from my
home back up in Newcastle. Perhaps what I was most nervous about was meeting
new people; I hoped that I would be able to make friends easily. This turned
out to not be an issue at all as all my flat mates and people on my course seem
very friendly and I seem to be getting along them just fine.
There are a
lot of differences here at University compared with my sixth form in Newcastle.
Once difference would be that at sixth form I was not usually accustomed to
taking down notes in class, I would usually just be handed the material that I needed.
Whereas here at University I understand that it is essential to be note taking
during lectures as material will not always be given to me.
