4 icebreakers for your first night in halls Meeting a group of new flatmates is never easy. Luckily, social media can help break some of the ice before you start university, but what about once you’ve arrived? Here are 4 top tips to make the transition a smooth one, and to help you settle in quickly. 1
Arrange a meal Food is the route to any student’s heart; why not try cooking a group meal, or get a takeaway for everyone! Sitting down to a meal is a great way to get to know everyone.
2
Stick up a sign Not all of your flatmates will be social butterflies, and you may not be either. A great way to letting your new neighbours know you’re ready to do something with them is sticking a sign on a communal door with your name and room number on it, that way the pressure isn’t on you.
3
Offer to help someone unpack Some people have more stuff than others and moving it all can be pretty difficult. If you see people struggling with lots of boxes and bags trying to get through tiny door frames, offer to help them out and you might just make a new friend. Ask for advice
4 Even if you already know some great places in your town to go to, ask your flatmates if they know of anywhere, and go where they suggest. It’s a great way of demonstrating trust in them, and you might even find somewhere new and exciting!
