Supporting Students to THRIVE at times of University Transition
Supporting Students to THRIVE at times of University Transition
Preparation for University transitions is about more than an IKEA trip and packing the boxes.
Of course, the practical stuff is important and so are the psychological aspects of understanding and managing expectations about change and the transition experience.
As Sam said in our Student Voice Series
"There can be a dip and it can be surprising – adjusting to living as an independent adult can be challenging"

Here are some things students in our 'Students Voices Series' told us about the transition experience.
Academic transition
“It is a big change of pace and the work is really down to you”
Leaving home, missing friends and family
“I didn’t realise how hard it would be leaving home, it was a mix of fun with a lot of stress too.”
Budgeting and money
"Throughout university, I had a part-time job. So I was having an income to pay for things, but the budgeting side of things probably would have helped."
Lifestyle change, everything being new
“It’s a big lifestyle change going from what you’re used to something completely new”
Managing independent living
"It's quite a quick transition, you've got to grow up and become an adult very quickly, and learn to take care of yourself."
Making friends, freshers week
"Freshers week is a bit of a myth and pressure"
Routine and getting organised.
"It's part of that kind of ritual, knowing you have a good breakfast, you spend some time recharging your batteries, being on your own. Because that's the really important thing about knowing yourself and knowing the things that you need."

That is really great to hear. This is an exciting time and for many students something they have been working towards and looking forward to for some time. Hopefully, you will have a great experience.

Good question. Firstly, we are both parents and have supported our kids as they have moved to University and beyond. Secondly, we have both moved internationally many times and experienced long and sometimes challenging periods of transition. We know what it is like to move to somewhere new and start again. Thirdly, we are wellbeing, education and mental health professionals with numerous qualifications between us (see the about us section below). Fourthly, we are the creators of the Successful Student Transitions podcast, where we have interviewed many students and educators supporting students about the transition to university and we bring all that knowledge to our course content.
