Settling into university

Whether you are new to Hallam or a returning student, settling in can feel overwhelming and it's not unusual to feel worried or anxious. Often people start to feel more comfortable as they become familiar with their surroundings and get to know the people around them. 

If you are worried and would like to speak to someone about your feelings, our Multi-faith chaplaincy team are available to provide a friendly listening ear to students from all faiths and non. More information about chaplaincy support.

Call: 07831175562

Our Settling in pages also provide helpful information and useful resources.  

To access 1:1 support from the wellbeing service, you can book an appointment with our College based advisers or register for support with our central wellbeing service. 

We hope that you settle into university life well and have a great experience at Hallam.
