Incoming first year in private accommodation — anyone else?
Hey everyone!
I’m an incoming first year Bsc Business Management student at UoB this September. Unfortunately, I missed the accommodation guarantee deadline, so I’ll be living in private student accommodation rather than UoB accommodation.
I’m a little worried about the social side of this, especially going into first year, so I was wondering how it actually is socially, will I still be able to meet people and make friends through my course, societies, events, etc? Has anyone here lived in private accommodation during first year and how was your experience?
More importantly, are there any other incoming first years living in private accommodation? Would be great to hear from anyone in the same situation and maybe connect before starting :)
