Socialising

Home > Student life > Mature students > Socialising

1. Make sure that you allow yourself some free time to socialise - it can make all the difference in helping you to feel a part of the life of your university.

2. Socialising does not have to be expensive or confined to the evening: lunchtime can be a useful chance to wind down off campus or as part of a revision group.

3. If you are unsure about breaking into a socialising group, try joining one of the many undergraduate groups that you will have seen advertised in your Students' Union.

4. Seminar groups work well together during revision sessions, so try to keep up some contact with your various seminar groups.

5. Socialising need not be elaborate. If you are short of time (or cash) , meeting up for just half an hour before a seminar or lecture can be a great support.
