Solent Insight Sessions - Independent living: Preparing for the transition to uni

Welcome to the Solent Insight Series, a virtual webinar programme designed to support prospective students as they prepare for university. Parents, carers, teachers and advisers are also very welcome to join.

This series is here to guide you through every stage of the journey to university, from choosing the right course and applying through UCAS, to writing a strong personal statement and preparing for life as a student.

Each session is packed with practical advice and useful tips to help you feel confident about the transition to higher education. Whether you’re just starting to think about your options or already preparing your application, the Solent Insight Series has something for you.

This session will give you practical advice on preparing for the move, from managing money and cooking simple meals to organising your time and making the most of student life. We’ll also share tips on looking after your wellbeing and settling into a new environment with confidence.
