Choose your university or college to see its own official guidance. City transport, council and health links are shared across Edinburgh.

1. Learn your own campus

Confirm which buildings you will use, where to collect your student card, and how to access the library. Different institutions and courses have different welcome schedules.

2. Make room for one interest

Pick a society, sport or welcome event that sounds enjoyable. Your buddy can help you find options, but you decide what to join and how much to take on.

3. Build your own routine

Find a comfortable study spot, a regular shopping route and somewhere to unwind. The aim is to feel confident navigating everyday life for yourself.
