Start preparing for Coming to Hartpury

Start preparing now, especially if you’re moving away from home for the first time

Plan your time Think about how you might balance your study and leisure time. What will help you keep your studies on track whilst still enjoying everything else there is to do on campus? Think about creating a timetable with your friends when you get here.

Begin budgeting Make a list of what you might spend while you’re here and how you will ensure that you stay within budget. We find spreadsheets really help our students to keep track of their money. You could always get a part-time job while you’re studying here, or perhaps over the summer months, to give you some pocket money for when you arrive.

Become laundry savvy If you’re moving away for the first time, you might want to get laundry savvy. Offer to do your laundry at home (this will help your family too). You don’t want to be shrinking your best top when you arrive in Freshers’ Week!

Learn to cook If you’re living on campus, you’ll have your meals in our canteen (see page 17) but you might like to make a few simple things in the microwave – how about trying a delicious mug cake or whipping up some cheap but filling scrambled eggs?

We hope this guide has given you plenty of information about your next steps. Get in touch using the contact details on the back page.
