UL - Advice to my First Year Self

If you could go back in time and speak to your first-year self what would you say?
We took time to chat with our current and recently graduated students to ask them what advice they would give to our incoming first years. The advice ranges from getting to know the many services offered here at UL to making friends, having a good time, and passing all exams.
More information for some of the services that were mentioned in the video:
