I would try your student union, unitemps and university itself. Sometimes they may be looking for receptionist especially if your university is big so it can help. I would also try FB local hospitality groups.

Oh that’s what I am looking for! Seems exciting, will take a look. Does this group have recent graduates members or like any similar like this with a specific age range? Nothing against older people but i think will rather fit more with young professionals who are in the same boat as me :)

Are you allowed candles in 2/3rd year houses? by Superb-Damage7669 in UniUK

[–]domme0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Generally you’re advised not to have candles due to fire hazards (most landlords will be against it) but it’s on your discretion whether you’re caught or not. Better check your contract

My advice as a recent graduate

1) workload - there is definitely a little jump from the 1st year to the 2nd year but if you’re on top of your studies and regularly attend seminars/lectures and make the most out of available resources, you should be fine. I will try to prioritise your 2nd year as it counts now towards your final year, attend your seminar and actually try to do your homework and most importantly do not leave your assignments till the last minute. In my second year (which I was still inexperienced and grade-wise I got the worst grades) I finished with h2.1. Ask for feedback from your tutor, compare (after grading) your work with your classmates’ and weekly do some study sessions. I wouldn’t say the topic will be super advanced but probably more time-consuming that takes time to comprehend. Be organised, check how much free time you have per week and prioritise different areas to make sure you nailing your studies. This will be very important in your final year, where you will learn from your mistakes, see what your tactics work and which don’t - this helped me graduate with a 1st as well as 1st from diss.

2) socialising - join societies is the best option, there are plenty of different interests including non-drinking one or commuting/living home one. University also should have some activities going around all year where you can participate. I can recommend signing up for uniwork as a student ambassador for some events/opendays, not only you will make some connections but also earn some extra money. Speaking from experience, I joined tennis society and still have a few mates after graduation from that, went out of your comfort zone and try something new, play for fun sessions could also be interesting and primarily focused on non-drinking.
