Another pro tip is to start looking for a job before freshers week. You will be surprised how many students start searching for work just after freshers. Doing this means you have already jumped the queue and most likely get a student job, quickly. Freshers week is also a great opportunity to network - not just to party! Take advantage of this time before everyone gets bogged down in books and exams. You never know you might meet some interesting people, who may have a friend of a friend, and so on. Of course, we are not telling you that you can’t let your hair down during this week. We are just saying use this time sensibly. You won’t regret it!.
