We asked the students of Sheffield for their advice for freshers

If you're a Sheffield fresher – congrats! You've made an excellent choice. But that doesn't mean you'll be immune to these classic fresher's fails (and you will definitely NOT be immune to the fresher's flu, either). So we asked those who've been there and done it for some much needed advice on how to get through first year.

Tilda, Third Year, English Literature
