The Students’ Union will be open over Arrivals Weekend. Come in and grab a coffee, pick up some leaflets or visit the bar!
We provide free independent advice, support sports clubs and societies, run sports facilities, provide volunteering opportunities and entertainment, run a shop and an accommodation service, and provide catering and bars on campus.

GUIDE TO ARRIVALS WEEKEND The first few days of University are bound to be an overwhelming experience so we’ve compiled a few top tips and bits of advice to get you started. Got any questions? Tweet us @upsu using #plymfresh17.

ge t yo ur t- sh irt for in t e r ha lls.
If you’re new to the City use these first couple of days to explore the University of Plymouth campus and the local area. Make sure you familiarise yourself with the buildings you’ll have your lectures in, you won’t want to get lost and be late to your first lecture!
Not only will it be a great event but each individual Hall is assigned a different coloured t-shirt so you’ll be able to spot your new neighbours in the crowds.
Be so ci a b l e .
Plymouth is one of the best cities in the South West for shopping. Grab an NUS card from the SU and head in to town to pick up some student friendly bargains.
Introduce yourself to your housemates at the first opportunity. You’re bound to be nervous but everyone is in the same boat.
Stay s a f e . Use your common sense and don’t put yourself in dangerous situations, it’s not worth it!

TAKE CARE DURING FRESHERS Take ca r e o f yo u r b e l ong i n gs.
Tak e c a re o f yo ur sa n ity.
There will be people, not necessarily students, with an eye on your phone, laptop, wallet, handbag, etc. Keep an eye your belongings and make sure you always know where they are. If you are out in public don’t leave them unattended.
Fresher’s is fun, exciting, noisy and vibrant. There is a lot to do, lots of freebies, lots of events, lots of new people to meet and get to know. But do make sure you get enough sleep, eat sensibly and keep things in perspective. If things get too much, take a walk up on the Hoe and have some fresh air, have a siesta to catch up on some sleep, say no to more alcohol and opt for a soft drink.
Take ca r e o f yo u r I D. Do not disclose too much information about yourself to people you have just met, no matter how friendly and trustworthy they appear to be. Don’t disclose any personal information on-line unless they are a trusted source. Scammers know when Student Finance England make their payments and will be targeting students at this time of year.
Take ca r e o f yo u r sa fe ty. You are probably new to Plymouth and do not fully know your way around yet. Stick to well-lit routes if you are walking home late at night, and always walk with a friend if possible. Make sure you have a local taxicab phone number saved on your phone, we recommend Need A Cab 01752 222 666. Make sure you know about UPSU’s Safe Taxi scheme too.
Tak e c a re o f yo ur stud e n t status. The University has a reputation to protect and will not tolerate inappropriate and illegal behaviour by its students. Make sure you understand the University’s Code of Conduct. What you may think is a private communication on social media is only private until it is shared. Drugs in Halls and private student accommodation are a no-no and the University will take a dim view of anyone contravening the law. If you’re on a professional course, or someone in your group of friends is, and you get caught up in something inappropriate or illegal, you are likely to face disciplinary proceedings and potentially be asked to withdraw from your course.
FACULTY WELCOME PARTIES The Faculty Welcome Parties are your opportunity to meet informally with other students new to your Faculty, as well as some current students and your academic staff.
All of the Faculty Welcome Parties are held in the Graduation Marquee on The Hoe, see below for your specific Faculty date.

BUDGET & SAVING TIPS Make it your mission to maximise your income whilst you are studying as worrying about money will detract from your studying. Here are a few tips but if you still need help making ends meet then visit the Advice Centre, our contact details can be found at upsu.com/advice.
St ude nt L oa ns & Ban k accou nts Make sure you are getting the maximum amount of Student Loan visit upsu.com/advice for current rates. Open a student bank account with a student overdraft facility. You will be expected to use this before being able to apply for other sources of income such as the University’s Financial Support Fund – free money that you can apply for from October.
Emp l oym e nt See if you can find employment or self-employment to fit in with your studies. Student Ambassadors are normally recruited by the end of October, look at Student Jobs.
t ip s & tric ks Use your NUS card, whether it’s eating out, dining in, going to the cinema or buying online, loads of places give NUS discount, if you’re not sure just ask at the till they won’t be offended. Find out more at cards.nusextra.co.uk Use loyalty cards, whether this is Nectar, Tesco or regular coffee stamps, it all amounts to free money which you may need by the end of the term. Utilise free tools to help you manage your bank account such as bPay & Pingit. For more information visit upsu.com. If home is far away get a rail card 16-25railcard.co.uk or look at the Megabus to see if you could get home for £1.
TRY OUT SOMETHING NEW Making a fresh start at University is a great opportunity to try out brand new activities and experiences.

HOW TO BE A GOOD NEIGHBOUR
10 tips for being a good housemate and a good neighbour
Everyone knows that students like a good party and in those first few weeks of Freshers it can get a bit raucous. Here are some tips on how to try and keep the peace with your neighbours.
Be p olite .
Par kin g .
When you move in go and introduce yourself and find out who your neighbours are. If they are night workers it won’t matter if you’re noisy in the evening as long as you’re quiet in the day, yet if you’re living next to a young family they will not appreciate your drum and base at 3am!
If you bring a car and the rest of your housemates have one too, then be considerate there are others living around you that will also want to park near their home.
Re m em be r your bi ns.
If you smoke then you will be used to the wind and rain by now, but be considerate and don’t stand next to an open window where the smell of your smoke will inevitably go.
Plymouth City Council are very clear on when you can put your bins out and failure to follow their rules could cost you £100. Your neighbours will not appreciate an alley full of pizza boxes and bottles so follow the rules.
S moki n g.
Cou nse lling. Living with other people can sometimes prove too much for some, if you are worried about a housemate then you can always talk to the University Counselling service about the best way to help them.
