Headline:Â Things I Wish I Knew Before Starting ARU London
Content:
Create a short video sharing 3–5 tips you would give someone starting at ARU London.
Think back to your own first few weeks and share advice you genuinely wish someone had given you. Your tips could be about studying, making friends, getting around London, managing your time, asking for help or settling into university life.
Key Messaging — Ideas to include:
Advice you wish you knew in your first trimester
How to settle into university life
Making friends and meeting classmates
Staying organised with your studies
Asking for support when you need it
Making the most of your time at ARU London
Suggested Hooks — Lead with a Thought or Question:
“Starting at ARU London? Here’s what I wish I knew.”
“If I could start my first year again, I’d do these things differently.”
“New students, save this for your first week.”
“Nobody told me these things before I started uni…”
“If you’re nervous about starting uni, here’s my advice.”
🎥 What to Show + Filming Tips:
Capture a mix of:
Walking around campus
Study spaces
Your uni essentials
Studying or preparing for class
Meeting or spending time with classmates
Direct-to-camera advice
Keep it conversational. Imagine you are giving advice to a new student rather than presenting information about ARU London.
Goal:
To help new students feel more prepared and reassured about starting at ARU London through advice from students who have already experienced it.
