Health

Staying fit and healthy while you're at college or university can be a challenge – especially if you're not used to preparing all your own meals. It's easy to fall into the student cliché of bad food, too much booze and no exercise, but this lifestyle, as well as being terrible for your figure, can have serious consequences for your mental health as well as your physical wellbeing. These pages offer some tips for looking after yourself, body and mind, whilst still enjoying your time as a student.


Please note, you will be given more information about the health services available at your particular institution once you have enrolled on a course.
