Editor's Note Approaching a new chapter of your life is daunting, especially if things don’t go quite to plan. In the past, you may have imagined walking with pride through uni, then sliding into class right on time with your new best friend. But what should you do if your big first day turns into hovering nervously over the join button to a Zoom meeting? What can you do to manage the challenges of university, even online? How can you reach out and make connections with others? Where can you go if you lose motivation and need a helping hand? These are all questions that we answer through our guide. It contains everything you need to succeed - the ins and outs of university, the best study tips and exam advice, and how you can make friends. If you’re at home alone for most of the term, you should have the tools to reach out. And if you do have the chance to go on campus, peruse our handy map for the best campus eats and study nooks. Your journey through life is yours to experience, to shape, and to remember. We hope you make the most of the fleeting freedom that is first year university - and our best wishes ride with you!
