Film a fun and relatable video that contrasts what you (or others) expected uni life to be like before starting versus what it’s actually like now.

Common myths or fears (e.g. “no social life,” “too stressful,” “hard to make friends”)
The real experiences that challenge those ideas (e.g. events, support, balance)
What surprised you in a good way
What new students should actually expect
Goals:
