Freshers' stories wanted!

We’re giving away three iPads to make lectures, research, and staying in touch easy while you’re at uni!

All you have to do is tell future students – who are about to set out on the journey you’ve just made – about your experiences, and you could win one!

Share your wisdom and experiences on anything and everything student-related, such as:

  • packing tips
  • freshers' week facts
  • top tips for preparing for your studies
  • mythbusters
  • application hints

... or just things to put their minds at ease before they arrive!

We’d love you to share your experience through a short video, but we’ll take a 250-word blog if you’d prefer. 

Share the love using #myfreshersstory, and share our posts with your friends so you can all be in with a chance to win a prize!
