Your Chill Out Zone The Chill Out Zone is in the Cavern underneath Hartpury House (down the steps on the left of the Hartpury House main entrance). This provides a quieter option for you to meet new people, watch a movie or TV, listen to music or read a book or magazine. We understand that Freshers’ Week can be a bit lively and that partying isn’t for everyone. The Chill Out Zone gives you an alternative hang-out option. Our top tips Our Students’ Union have put together these 10 top tips to help you settle in to uni life. 1. Bring lots of pictures and photographs of your friends and family to decorate your room. Bring some spare frames for new pictures too! 2. Don’t buy expensive kitchen supplies – you’ll be lucky to leave with a spoon by the end of the year. 3. Get involved – there’s a lot happening on campus during the week. Give everything a try, you might even find a new hobby that you love. 4. Make the most of Legends social hub and uni study lounge – it’s your space to mix, mingle and relax. 5. Get to know your Students’ Union – we’re here to help you and make sure you’re having the best time. We’ll also help you get your Totum card for heaps of student discounts. 6. Get a bus timetable! As beautiful as it is, you might want to get off campus and explore the local area. 7. Don’t blow your student loan in one go – it might look like a lot of money but it has to last until January. 8. Get a part-time job – you’ll have a free day with no lectures each week to use. If you already work at a big chain, ask if you can transfer to Gloucester or Cheltenham. 9. If your phone contract is soon up for renewal, think about switching to EE or BT. These two networks have the best coverage on campus. 10. If you're bringing a smart TV you'll need to bring an Ethernet cable to connect to the network.
