Local Students
Although it might seem like everyone is becoming best friends with their flat mates, remember that 40% of UEA students are local students and everyone is really keen to make friends! Living off campus need not define your uni experience. The trick with living off campus as a fresher is managing to feel part of campus life. The more involved you are, the more you will feel part of the campus community

"As a local student I already knew my way around the best bars/clubs in the city so there are no wasted nights going to rubbish places. A lot of my friends stayed in Norwich so I was able to keep my friendship group. At the same time UEA has loads of clubs and societies where I got to meet new and like-minded friends!"
