8. Universities have sports teams and societies
If you don’t already know what universities offer in terms of sports teams and societies, then go and have a look online now!

Believe it or not, you don’t have to be sporty person to join a sports team, and you don’t even have to play the sport to join in with social events. If you do join a sports team and you decide to host a social event at your accommodation, the one piece of advice that I would give to you is to make sure that all of your housemates are aware of this prior to the event!
