Hello everyone my name is francesca for those who do not know me and I'm currently in Exeter
University and I am currently about to ask a few uni student what are their tips for
future freshers.
Hello everyone I am here with Rhu, and Rhu what year are you in, what do you study?
I am a second year law student and I am part swiss part american.
Amazing wow thats super international.
And tell me do you have any advice or tips for freshers?
Advice for freshers in general, you will have mroe friends that are in your flat or house
or building, so diversify and make friends here and there in different places as you've
got a bit of a community going on.
Specifically for law students, everyone says that the first year doesn't count, the first
year doesn't count, first year totally counts especially if you are applying to vac schemes,
the bigger and brighter firms will be scrutinizing your application very carefully so make sure
you shine in first year and don't slack off.
Perfect that's incredible advice thank you so much.
No problem.
So hello everyone I am here with Dimitri, and where are you from?
I am from Russia.
Ok perfect what do you study and what year are you in?
I am second year, I am studying accounting and finance programme.
Wow that's a lot of maths apparenty, ok so what is the one advice you would give to freshers
or any tips that you have.
I would give them the advice to go on the guild website and to search the socials activities
they have during the first week and try to attend almost all of them because it is the
time you make the most friends from here and yea, actually thats perfect advice no one
said this to us yet.
And would you like to add anything?
yea so I would not suggest you to spend all of your money during your first week because
almost every first year student faces this problem that he has no money even to buy a
bottle of water!
Oh yea, yea I remember I went through that myself, actually thats a very common mistake
guys so yes so thank you so much for these tips.
Hello everyone I am here with, I am Akasha, Akasha?
Akash, oh Akash where are you from?
I a from India, India!
Thats so far away!
What year are you in and what do you study?
I am doing masters, in marketing.
Oh wow thats amazing that is actually what I want to do!
Tell me do you have any specific tips for freshers or students in UNi?
I think i can suggest something for vegetarians if their are self catered then I think they
should bring their own cooking stuff from INdia or anywhere where they are coming from
because they dont have cocasia and you search actually search for vegetarians exeter because
there good exeter vegetarian places, when you buy something, go for the vegan because
it is better so like because vegetarians sometimes include eggs so I think this is a good tip
for the freshers.
Ok thats incredible, thank you so much, we really needed that, a bit of tips for vegetarians,
thats so cool.
Thank you so much akash.
Hello everyone I am here with, Jack Holiday, hello!
Perfect, and what do you study, where are you from and what year are you in?
I am from surrey, sadly, a bit of a stigma, I study computer science, I am in second year,
yeah cool alright, computer science, I wish I could do that but I just cant so tell me
do you have any advice for freshers, any tips, anything for future freshers, of course I
do.
My main tip is just go out and try al the tasters to sessions, join societies, get immerse
in kind of what University is, dont just be shy because everyone is going in kind of in
the same place where they know no one so go in, try and join stuff that you want to join
because you will meet people like you, yea just get involved.
Like finding people thats the most important thing, like finding your crowd and everything!
Join Xpression Fm, we have a bit of promotion there, we will include it!
Perfect well thank you so much for this, no thank you for having me I am glad to be part
of XTV.
Great let's go.
Hello everyone I am here with Idyl and Emresson.
Perfect and guys where are you from?
I am from Turkey, I am from Hong Kong.
Oh wow that's super international and tell me do you have any advice for freshers or
anything you want to say about Exeter Uni?
Since you are international maybe you have some advice?
Yes they shouldnt forget to bring their converters for plugs, so important!
And their rabbit, maybe!
I gave her the rabbit by the way, ok well yea the rabbit is essential guys but honestly
converter plugs guy is just so important, I from italy too Ineed those converter plugs
so bad and be careful not loosing them and forgetting them you know, yea.
And how do you find exeter?
Do you like it do you have anything you would like to add about anything here?
It's a really lovely city and because it's actually a little state, it's really easy
to focus on your studies, so yes.
And because its like a really compact city so it's very easy to bump into people you
meet on campus and stuff, and you dont feel like there is a really big distance between
each person, each individual, you have in big cities, so thats yea, thats actually so
true like thank you , you know we kind of know these things but we never like say them
and sometimes people want to know these things that you've just said, so thank you guys so
much for this and yeah I think we are done, thank you so much!
Bye
