STUDENTS faced with the scary prospect of their first year in col- lege will be helped by NUI Galway Students’ Union with advice on finding accommoda- tion, and how to prepare for coming to college.
The Union will be providing articles giv- ing practical tips, such as asking parents for simple recipes, learning how to use the washing machine before leaving home and what to buy in advance of coming to college.
“Starting university is a very exciting time in the life of any stu- dent. However, it can be a very daunting experi- ence, especially those weeks between the Leaving Cert results, the CAO offer and reg- istration in the chosen third level institution. Through these articles, we ll help you through what you should be doing to prepare for the months ahead, for example, sourcing ac- commodation, or find- ing your way in the first few days,” said com- munications Oya ELee me John Hynes.
