Starting at university
Preparing for university can provide a rollercoaster of emotions and, understandably, making such big life choices can be daunting. There is the pressure of passing exams, choosing universities and courses, anxiety about meeting new people and making friends, and living away from home for the first time if you plan to relocate. Wales is a small nation, with few universities, even fewer large towns and cities, and tight-knit communities, particularly in the more rural areas. So, if you are planning a move from North to South Wales or vice versa or heading across the border to somewhere else in the UK, it can seem daunting.
To help bridge the gap, myf.cymru has developed this short guide, to cover the basics and provide some useful information to help you prepare before you head off to university. Hopefully, you will find it a useful reference tool once you have started your higher education journey. Promoting mental health and wellbeing is an integral part of this document, providing a focus on resources and services available through the medium of Welsh.
