- Description
- Starting university is a huge milestone and, if you're anything like I was, you'll probably feel excited, nervous, and slightly overwhelmed all at the same time. Having just completed my first year at the University of Birmingham, I wanted to share a few things I wish I'd known before arriving.

- Starting University is exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming. My first year was certainly not perfect, but I learnt lots and it helped build the foundation for the rest of my university experience.
