The online uni-verse

When you arrive at university, it’s likely that your initial priority is to meet other students. However it can also be a little daunting– there can be thousands of students on one campus. Of course, social media can help, which makes the whole get-to-know-people side of uni a lot easier.

You’ll meet lots of different people and be introduced to their lives. But it’s important to understand that with different people come different beliefs, interests and opinions. It’s important to be mindful of this when communicating with them online.
