I've finished my exams, got my decisions in from universities, made my decisions, sorted out my SAAS (student loan form) Now what do I do to prepare for actually starting uni?

Then a week before you go, see what you're using everyday, and pack it, or buy a spare to take with you.
Well thats what I did, some 5 years ago, and I was ok. If you forget something, you can always buy it, or borrow it from the new friends you'll make.
other than that, i would just suggest buying your cutlery and other bits and bobs youre going to need when away (bed linen, lamp, tv etc etc)
if there's anything specific you need to do for your course, your uni will send you letters and stuff once youve definitely got a place.
just chill out. after all unless you take a gap year or something, you'll be going straight into work after 3 years at uni.
spag bol, lasagne, are always good as they can be cooked and then frozen into portions so you just need to microwave them
Same happened to me last year, I ended up living in a flat with a girl I'd been chatting to on that site. This time round, I've found someone doing the same course as me, doing two of the A Levels I did at the same college I went to. I imagine some of the uni forums are different to others (the one I was on last year tended to be stressed out freshers, but this year it's mostly second years using it as their own forum) but it's nice to get some advice specific to your uni and even your exact course.
Getting drunk and having fun! :thumb:
Thats why i'm going
There'd be something wrong if you didn't have any worries at all before you went, in my opinion. So long as you're willing to give it a go and make a real effort, you'll be ok.
I totally agree. everyone gets nervous before going to uni, but almost everyone i know has a brilliant time. It's a little nerve-racking when you move into halls with new people for the 1st time, but remember that everyone will be in the same boat as you and no-one will be out to make enemies! Just be yourself and have fun :cool:
Not even a teeeeeeeeeeeeny bit nervous?
