From meeting new friends and gaining independence, to learning something brand new, the students we met had very different reasons for wanting to go to university…
For the Social Life
Of course, the university isn’t all about sitting in lectures, heading to the library for more reading before heading home for more studying, (although don’t tell your parents that obviously!) There’s also lots of opportunities to increase your friendship group and let your hair down at social events.
To Experience Somewhere New
Whether you want to experience the hustle and bustle of a new city or go somewhere a bit more remote for some peace and quiet while you study, the idea of exploring somewhere new was a seriously big draw for several of the students that we spoke to.
To Get Smarter
Enhancing your knowledge and teaching you the tiny details of subjects that you hadn’t noticed before over at least a three-year period (or more if you choose to do a placement year or go on to study a postgraduate course), you’ll certainly get smarter at uni, probably in more ways than one too.
To Meet New People
From your housemates to your course mates, to the friends you make in the societies you join, to the randoms you meet on nights out that become your BFFs instantly, there are so many opportunities to meet new people and make friends at university, you can’t count them all on one hand.
For Opportunities
From opening prospective employer’s doors to getting a brand-new hobby that you never thought you’d be interested in when you first signed up at the fresher’s fair, the university is all about embracing new opportunities.
