<\/p>\nIt\u2019s nearly time- fresher\u2019s week is almost here and we know that you can\u2019t wait to celebrate moving away to university in style.<\/p>\n
Fresher\u2019s week is notorious for being the best week of a student\u2019s university life and we couldn\u2019t agree more! There\u2019s nothing like attending student-orientated events for getting to know your new flatmates and course buddies while having a blast at the same time.<\/p>\n
As we provide some of the comfiest student flats you could say that we are graduates of fresher\u2019s week mistakes. We\u2019d recommend that you try to avoid making them, but don\u2019t feel like you are the only one if some do happen- trust us, there will be thousands of students up and down the country making them too!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Not Enough Money<\/b><\/p>\n
The lure of your student loan landing in your bank account can be incredibly tempting. We\u2019re willing to bet that you won\u2019t have had the need to budget while living at home, so you may feel a sense of freedom when you know you have money sitting in your bank account.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Many freshers don\u2019t realise how much things cost and as a result spend a hefty chunk on their loan payment on stuff that they want, rather than essentials.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re not saying don\u2019t have fun, just have some restraint and try to budget for events that you want to go to- as well as living essentials such as shopping.<\/p>\n
Losing Important Items (Keys, Wallet, Phone etc.)<\/b><\/p>\n
They\u2019re there one minute and gone the next, but you have no idea where they have disappeared to. It\u2019s unfortunate, but it does happen-even to the best of us.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Make sure that you try to keep all your belongings safe in your bag or your pockets and be careful when taking items out- you wouldn\u2019t believe how easily your keys can fall out when you have reached in to get your wallet.<\/p>\n
Set off the Fire Alarm<\/b><\/p>\n
Sometimes this may be completely by accident. We aren\u2019t all Gordon Ramsay and we\u2019ll bet that this is the first time in some student\u2019s lives that they have had to cook for themselves. Mistakes happen.<\/p>\n
Try to make sure that you follow the cooking instructions to avoid unwanted fire alarm drills, and avoid cooking after a night out\u2026 no one likes burnt fish fingers or standing in the rain with the rest of the building at 3am.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
It\u2019s also worth mentioning that activating a fire alarm when there is no fire is present is a criminal offence under the Fire and Rescue Services Act 2004<\/a>. It\u2019s best not to risk getting in trouble with the police, fire brigade as well as risking your place at university on your first week there.<\/p>\n Sleeping In<\/b><\/p>\n Having so much fun on fresher\u2019s week can leave some people feeling incredibly tired. We understand the daily struggle that is getting out of bed, but sleeping in over your lectures is something that is best avoided.<\/p>\n Not only will you have 30 pairs of eyes staring at you as you burst through the doors still wearing your pyjamas, you will have missed out on some of the lecture, which isn\u2019t scheduled for nothing.<\/p>\n Fresher\u2019s week is a great experience, and here at CityBlock, we hope that you have a fantastic time. We\u2019re glad to be here as you start your university life and are on hand to answer any questions you may have about your accommodation with us.
