When I arrived in the UK, I had to order necessities such as pillows and bedding online, as I didn&#8217;t realise that I needed to bring that with me. I wished that I had ordered these before I arrived, as it was a bit of an issue to begin with. However, the University had a parcel collecting point where I could retrieve everything that I had ordered. You can choose the nearest date and not worry about the time, as the staff will actually keep the parcel for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Meeting your flatmates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/05\/img_5985.jpg?resize=380%2C285\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6960\" width=\"380\" height=\"285\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I live with 11 flatmates and we share 1 kitchen. We have separate sections in the fridge and the cupboards to make sure we don&#8217;t mix them up. When we first started, we set some rules for cleaning and taking out the rubbish; this definitely avoids any bickering! The cleaners check our rubbish bins once a week and help us to clean the shared areas. We are all very responsible and make sure that we do our chores, which works well. We generally have a great place to live and have good relationships with each other, which is really important for me. When you are living together, you need to have a good level of respect for it to work. Fulfill your chores and make sure you are patients with others too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My tips for the first week<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first week or so can be stressful as you are moving to a completely new country. My advice for you would be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Prepare your daily necessities and order them online before you arrive, so you are not without<\/li><li>Set out rules between you and your flatmates for the shared areas and keep it tidy<\/li><li>Help each other as much as you can<\/li><li>Respect each other.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don&#8217;t worry!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I hope that my words will be helpful to you. I know that being international student is not easy, and it can be nerve-racking as you adapt to a new environment. Try not to worry about your new challenge; you will have a wonderful time in York. Everyone is friendly and helpful, so don\u2019t be shy to ask your questions. I hope you enjoy being a student at York, especially during Freshers&#8217; week!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why not read more <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/?s=accommodation\">student blogs about accommodation<\/a>?<\/p>\n<div class=\"ap-custom-wrapper\"><\/div><!--ap-custom-wrapper-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before you arrive I am an international first-year student from Hong Kong and my accommodation is in the beautiful Constantine College.
