"What are some helpful tips for students starting their first year at Imperial College London? ". .

The first rule is to make sure you do enough to pass your first year. Your percentage won't really make a difference as it contributes to such a low proportion of your overall degree, but make sure you don't fail any of the individual exams. Aside from that, there isn't much to say. I would have said don't go there and go to UCL instead, but since you are already starting that wouldn't be that helpful! Personally, I think everyone should just join some group/society/sport. Also try to take part in as much hall-related stuff as possible, as the people you will meet there will be your friends for the rest of your time at Imperial. You will also move out of halls and live with some of these people in your second year. If you are poor then by all means apply for a hardship grant. Not enough people make use of them. Also buy your lunch at the JCR because the sandwiches are cheap, fairly enjoyable and they come in sustainable packaging. The only thing you really need to avoid doing is cheating. Lots of people do it and lots of people get caught. Don't sneak things into exams and do plagiarise coursework. I would advise applying for Easter Insight internship things as soon as you get there.
