Our top 5 tips!


 
Moving in and getting settled.

Arriving at your Leicester student accommodation for the first time can be a daunting prospect. You’ve got to keep in mind you’re all in the same boat. Get to your student accommodation nice and early so you have time to unpack before the freshers frenzy takes hold. You will be very busy!
 

Unpacking your room.

So, you’ve finally made it to your accommodation. Keep your door open whilst you unpack as it’s good to give off a welcoming, friendly vibe. Also, why not put up a big sign on your door with your first name on? You’ll meet so many new people it’ll be hard to keep track of everyone’s name, so there’s no harm in making it easier for your new mates!
 

Budgeting your money.

Take the time to plan your budget for all those great Leicester Student Freshers events. Most spend too much money early on so if you make the same mistake. Have a lean couple of days to get you back on track. If you spend all your money how will you pay for your accommodation next year!
 

Staying Safe

Generally, Leicester is a safe place to be a student. However, you still need to take the appropriate precautions. Make sure you keep your student accommodation secure. Other good things to remember are that there’s safety in numbers, try to stick together. Also, try to familiarise yourself with anywhere new before you go out. Being lost on your own is certainly not fun!
