To new university entrants: University Administration Offices are full of sexual predators, protect yourself. Don’t sell your body for a room or admission. Call home, ask a friend, a relative. Yes, you’re dependent but not alone.#freshersadvice

I can't stress this enough: don't settle for mediocrity even if it's the popular thing to do. People will tell you that it's ok if you just scrape by, but if you've got the capacity to do well, use it. Honour the students who would do anything to have your place. #FreshersAdvice https://t.co/RFRL1NMTkU

"If your course is killing you, its not worth it."

That advice saved me. There is happiness in other courses too, because there's always a bit of something to love wherever you go
