A letter to first year me: Chris

Posted on: 8 December 2023 by Richard Finch in Student experiences

As we prepare for our winter graduate ceremonies, BA Technology and Music graduate Chris Gurney reflects on his time at university, and offers some advice to this first-year self.

Dear First Year Me,

Some of your key highlights of university will include joining the mountaineering society and going rock climbing in France, finding the right friends to move in with for second year, and being able to graduate at the end which was definitely the proudest moment!

Moving to a new city to start university, and trying the find the right friends that care about you can be hard, and so if I could give you once piece of advice it would be to try as many different societies I can. You don’t have to join all of them, but do it just meet as many people as you who might have similar interests to you.

Your Future Self

Chris
