It is likely to be the first time you have lived away from home, and while this can be daunting, it is also an incredibly exciting time with many adventures ahead of you. Making new friends, discovering new cultures, stretching your mind and developing your abilities. You probably have a pile of prospectuses in front of you right now and are thinking, ‘which university is right for me?’.
