Starting university can feel like a big step — but at Informatics, you’re part of a community that’s there to support you from day one. Whether it’s understanding course material, settling into university life, or planning your next steps, there’s a strong network around you: šŸ¤ Peer support through student-led initiatives like @infpals and InfBase šŸŽ“ Academic support from Student Advisers, Cohort Leads, and teaching teams 🌱 Community & societies like @comp_soc and @euhoppers 🧠 University-wide support including wellbeing services, careers advice, counselling, @uoedchaplaincy , and the @edunistudentsassociation Advice Place šŸ’¬ ā€œIt is reassuring to know that, if I had a question in an area unfamiliar to me, I could usually find someone to discuss it with.ā€ — Yun Lu, LFCS PhD candidate šŸ‘‰ Find out more via the "Student Support" link in our bio

Fancy a break from all the work? Hoppers is having a pub night at The Golf Tavern this Wednesday the 25th! We have booked out the top floor, so come along for a chill evening of darts, pool, and drinks (possibly even some free ones šŸ‘€). We will be there from 20:00 onwards! This is also a great opportunity to ask the committee any questions you might have if you are considering running in the AGM. šŸ‡šŸ©µ
