- Everything you need to know about moving to university in first year :)
Apologies that this video is kind of vague, it's very hard for me to predict what the move in process is going to be like for you guys this year due to current circumstances and guidelines :/
Also sorry that it’s so dark, I didn’t realise until I started editing as it looked okay in the view finder :(

One thing I did was took lots of photos with my friends during freshers and pinned them up next to photos of my friends and family from home. It helps you to not feel so home sick. A lot of people look at photos of back home and feel like they're missing out, but by having photos of your uni life shows you you're not alone. Uni is a once in a lifetime experience, it is nothing to be anxious about, to anyone reading this who is going this year- grab this opportunity with both hands, you will flourish, enjoy your time there!
Aw love that advice!! X
What amazing advice ❤
I’m kind of glad freshers isn’t happening this year as I can settle in and feel more comfortable without the pressure of going out and constantly being busy/socialising
Same, especially since I personally don't drink so it'll probably be easier to bond with my flatmates without the pressure of getting drunk with them haha
Phoebe Jones what university are you going to?x
Claire Louise Manchester
Phoebe Jones I’m going to the university of York and we’re still having a freshers, they built a festival ground with tipis and yurts for the whole of the first term and they’re only allowing 500 students in at a time socially distanced. So we’re getting a whole term of freshers haha x
Liv same!:) x
The first few weeks at uni is an introvert's nightmare 😅
Legit!! 😂😂
Im about to go to university, and one thing I would say is that just because we can't have the typical freshers experience this year - we are still there for Second and Third year (at least!), so hopefully when all is normal we can always join in with some of those activities haha! Thank you for the video, was very helpful and oh my lord it is becoming so real
It's Just Em what university are you going to?x
I really appreciate this advice - I’m so nervous but excited to move to uni next month! Also the background is so cute 💗
Ahh good luck!! Thank you xx

Thanks for all the advice. I'm going to Uni of Leeds this September and it's so exciting xx

new area 🌻 what university are you going to?x
Claire Louise - South Wales x
Such great advice for people moving to uni! 💗 I've heard from a few people as well saying they haven't got in to montague burton so think our promotion of it and saying how good it was has caused it to be oversubscribed this year 🥴🤦🏼♀️😂
@hufflepuff Harry potter lover Couldn't not aha! Loved it 😊💗
@hufflepuff Harry potter lover Yeah that was the best thing ever!
I love your uni videos🥰🥰
Thank you! xx
i’m not moving in until october but i appreciate all this advice! i’m in a big house this year (12 people!) so hoping it’ll be easy to make friends
Going to uni next month and I’m so scared but can’t wait!! Xx
That’s so exciting!! Good luck x
Thanks for the tips. Have a nice weekend
I am moving to Leeds next week to study Biology. Would you recommend starting a part time job in the first year or not? I can barely afford all the expenses, so a job would be really helpful for me and my family. However I am afraid that I might miss things, like socializing, having hobbies and generally free time, or even not having enough time to study.
Thank you for these videos!!
Great video! :)
I'm going to uni of leeds! I'm studying theatre + enterprise and have literally no idea what to expect from moving in, it all seems to be happening so differently this year
I’m off to Leeds in about 3 weeks and you definitely drew everyone to montague burton !! Lots of us who applied got Devonshire/Lupton/Oxley😅😅xx
Yeah I’ve heard, I’m so sorry about that, I genuinely have absolutely nothing to do with the allocation process, it happens every year with places like central village too x
Lydia Violeta aw don’t be silly it’s not your fault at all !! Feel like everything happens for a reason anyway and people in my block seem lovely :) xxx
Yeah, I put MB down too, but really happy w who's in my flat elsewhere. And exactly, it's what u make if it anyway!
I’m in Devonshire now but applied for monty b too!
I was in Devonshire but applied to Henry Price in first year. Dev has some strict rules like no noise past 11 but its a lovely and sociable accommodation, so pretty and i loved it so much!! have fun!! XXX
hi there thankyou for doing such great video! im thinking of coming to study as international student next year, but im a very shy introvert so worry might find it difficult to make friends/settle in... what is Leeds uni like for people who don't really like the clubbing scene/drinking? would you say its 'introvert friendly' ? also what accommodations would you recommend for someone who like quiet - I worry I will arrive and everyone in my flat will want go out clubbing and I'll be only one left behind !
Hi! I have just come across your channel and I can't thank you enough for the helpful content! I am about to move to Leeds for the uni and I am super scared. 😬😬Do you know anything about Ellerslie Hall, I've got an offer to stay there? Also is there any chance to change the accommodation later in the year? ❤️
I actually like this background but I commented in a later vid lol and yh that background is better, with ur blanket and plant and chest of drawers
You can get back lights by putting light on the floor to make the video back lit
I Love your channel. Have a nice day
I'm moving to uni on Monday!! Eeek wish me luck. I'm kinda nervous!
just what i needed, i move to uni in two weeks n im nervously excited !!!! Buzzing but also shitting myself😂😭
Hi Lydia,
I really hope you see this.
I would really appreciate if you made your quizlet public, as I think it will give me a good head start for my a level studies.
Thank you.
Might be off topic but in year 12 what did u do for work experience so u could talk about it in your uni application? Xxx love ur videos btw!
I did corporate law work experience so pretty random, I didn’t know what I wanted to do at uni when I was in year 12 x
I wish i had this video when I was in my first year uni
its so sad because of covid at leeds we arent allowed to have people in our flats if they dont live there so if we dont get on with our flatmates we're stuck with them:/
Ohhh right I didn’t know that!! X
I’m sure it’ll be fine tho! X
Lydia Violeta yeah it’s super strict like even when moving in only 1 person can help us and they aren’t allowed to go past our flat door🙃🙃 this year is going to be strange!!
Not going to Leeds uni but actually found this super helpful!
I can't believe I'm moving to Leeds in 4 days!
if you are sutrggling with home sicknesss what I suggest is make planes to take your mind of
An extra light to the left side might balance out the shadows a bit x
Thank you!!
Lydia 💕
hi Lydia. please reply... ily❤️ thank u so much for posting helpful videos😊
You’re welcome! X
Can u do a video on making notes
I joined the group chat and found out I’m in a flat of 8 for first year. There’s me a 7 girls. They seem really nice
I’m pretty sure most unis aren’t letting people from other flats/home are allowed to stay/come over because of covid so i really don’t know what im going to do about not seeing my boyfriend like that is literally the only thing im worried about
Omg same I’m going leeds Beckett and I’m nervous about that
same, i’m moving an hour and a half away from home☹️☹️
This May be a silly question, but I’m from the US and am applying to universities in the UK! Do you have your own bedroom in most of the housing accommodations?
At most schools here we have to share a dorm, I’m just curious :)
In most unis you get your own room, but some do have options for roommates - i have a couple of friends in larger universities in london who share rooms to make it more affordable (london is extortionate lol)
We have this sem online...it sucks...I miss going physically to classes and meeting people and friends!!!
the upside is that we have more control over when we want to do the lecture or seminar tho
JSD yeah😅
I’ve been put in Lupton and I’m really not looking forward to it because it seems so far away. Any tips?
15:00 I agree with you
Did you get any of your stuff stolen from the kitchen during first year ❤️❤️ ps love your content
No I didn’t x
Getting me prepped for Manchester lol (not nervous..)
you’re going to uni of manchester?
At least at my uni (Wales) we get given reusable masks! I don't know what the environment of Fresher's will be like. But we can still be sociable, remember! lol
how do you find groupchats for where you’re staying? i’m moving to brighton university and id love to meet my flat mates before moving in🥰
You could try looking for Facebook group chats on messenger. that's what i did and it helped a lot!!
Where do you find the group chats thanks for this video
Anyone going liverpool uni this year?
❤️❤️
i lov you from algeria country
I can’t get alerts for your vids because it’s classed as child content. Any idea?
Hey Lydia, hope you stay well and healthy in the future love all of your university videos all year and future and well. Can we see more clothing stationery hauls day in the life morning and evening night routines get productive with me assumptions everything you need to know videos. Take care stay safe and well. Have a lovely wonderful weekend week and day ahead of you. Wish you all the best for the future brings to you family and friends at university too. See you next Saturday morning 10am with a new video. 😊❤️🎈🦋🎉☀️🌻🌺🌹🌈🌸💕🍀🦒🥀🎍🇹🇷🎉🦋🐝👸🐣🌷☀️🎉🌺🌹🦒🍀⭐️🧚🏻♂️🦋🎈😊🌹🌺☀️🎉🇹🇷🌷🎂🐝🌼⭐️🧚🏻♂️🧚🏽🥳🌻
anyone else here starting at UCL in September? 🧡
Week and 3 days 😱
Can you do a live
I hope your video have subtitle 🧡
Everyone always mentions these group chats, but where can you find them?
how did you join a group chat? 💕
How did you find your flat mates before moving in (what did you search) ❤️❤️
I’m in second year at uni and I found group chats on Facebook by searching in your accommodation or your course if you want to find course mates
Jordan thank you
how did you join your accom groupchat, i’m nervous because i don’t know anyone in my accom yet!! :(((
If you have Facebook, sometimes you can join Freshers groups for your uni on there! And then people tend to post in them asking about accom and if anyone is in there x
Pretty sure I went through a link where you then selected what house you're gonna be in, which then said what the official Facebook page for that house is. But can't find where I got the link from. It should be '[House name] Official group 2020/2021'.
Yeah I just found them on Facebook! X
@@Sophie-yt7ee Yes, but for some groups, there might be a student admin who likes to confuse people and rename my accom group chat '#downwithbarneythesequel' instead of Accom name Official group 2020.
Just realised, was actually through a pop up when I was viewing the 360 tour of my accommodation on the website.
Hello Lydia
Everythings online like freshers fair etc. and we're not allowed in other peoples flats. Plus clubs aren't open. So it's basically going to be shit
Lol I only get 3 weeks at Christmas, 2 weeks at Easter and 8 weeks at summer due to being a nursing student 😂 x
Same here but not a nursing but a usual Geography student!
