Lots of students decide to live at home rather than moving into university or college accommodation. Just because you’re not in halls doesn’t mean you’ll have any less of a student experience though.

Here at UCAS we’re used to talking to students about their university choices – so our experience should prove to be handy for your apprenticeships too.

Whether you met your conditional offer straight away or found a place through Clearing, most students chart the next stage of their higher education journey on results day.

Once your application is approved, you'll receive an email your funding body confirming your eligibility for the DSA.

Universities and colleges put on a week of activities at the start of term for new students, known as Welcome Week or Freshers’ Week.
