By sharing their own experiences and the worries they had before arriving at university, they provide a unique perspective that can help alleviate some of the concerns that freshers may have.
The concerns that students have before starting university are not uncommon - making friends, managing workload, and adapting to a new environment are just a few of the worries that can weigh on their minds.

As the new academic year gets underway, it's worth keeping an eye on how universities are supporting their freshers and helping them to settle in. With the ongoing conversation around student mental health and wellbeing, it's likely that universities will be focusing on providing resources and support to help students navigate the transition to university life. To watch next: how universities respond to the needs of their freshers and what initiatives they put in place to support student success and wellbeing.
