My
emotions before the first week of University
It was time... Time to pack my bags, leave
the hotel and get dropped off to my University accommodation in Endcliffe
Village. As my mum and I got into the taxi, my heart was racing. I was going through numerous emotions at that point
– excitement, nervousness, anxiety; those were just a few of them! My mind was
exploded with all sorts of questions:
Will
I like my flatmates? My course? The university? Sheffield? Will I be home-sick
at any point? How will I cope with all of this being so far away from family?
We finally arrived at Endcliffe and I was
so relieved. The greenery and the beautiful ambiance helped calm me down. I got
the chance to see my room and I was delighted that my room was fairly decent
sized and quite spacious.
The following text is to show you that you
have no reason to be as nervous as I was! The first few weeks of university are
a great experience!
Intro
week at Sheffield
After a long night, I headed to the
Octagon Centre for the welcome talk. Seeing hundreds of confused and nervous
faces like mine assured me that I was not the only one; everyone was as anxious as
me.
Intro Week was a week of being bombarded
with a bunch of leaflets and discounts for free dominos pizza in the SU! – Yes,
that’s right, free Dominos pizza! :D The Activities and Sports fairs along with the Freshers' Fair were extremely busy
occasions, offering such a great amount; from the Snowboarding Society, Women
in Engineering society to the Baking society and Football.
Alongside that, everyone had the chance to
take part in a huge range of activities arranged to get to know people in your
department and those living around the same area as you (eg. Endcliffe/Ranmoor Village). One of my major problems that week was to choose the
activities I wanted to be a part of each day - there were just way too many
options!
I realized that making new friends really
wasn’t half as bad as I thought it would be. This is because everyone will be
on the same boat as you and looking to make friends. So, you’ll have a warm
welcome from everyone – whether it’s the freshers, students that will be your
seniors or even the staff.
Orientation Week and Intro week allowed a
smooth transition for me to place myself in this new city far away from home. This
week was certainly one of the highlights of my time at Sheffield and I would
strongly recommend each of you to make the most of Intro Week.
this is one of the outstanding Intro Week at Sheffield it could be useful University accommodation in Endcliffe Village. so much appreciate. thanks for bring this kind of brillent post.
