Settling in was not as difficult as I thought it would be. This was because fresher’s week kept all the students busy. In addition, the courses started immediately after and all the lectures and tutorials kept me busy for most of daytime, which helped towards repressing the feeling of homesickness. There were a lot of opportunities and activities to get involved in. Other than the busy days due to the academic aspect, the societies and hall committees arranged a very wide variety of events so regardless of how busy or light your course was, there was always some kind of event going that you could keep yourself busy with.
