Talk and make friends with as many people as you can. The people here in Brighton are very friendly, and having a good network of friends will surely ease any home-sickness. Study as much as you can on a regular basis, so that you don’t cram your workload a day before your assignment, to avoid getting bad grades.

Definitely come in with an open mind and attend career fairs, networking events provided by the business school to get an insight into different careers available in your first year. Also apply for work experience and insight days that are exclusive to first years and overall make the most of opportunities since in the later years you will have less free time.
