Another area we can help with is what we generally term the 'domestic' area;things such as childcare and the availability of nursery provision,for example,come under this.Then there's 'academic' issues that may arise while you are in the early stages of your course that you may not know what to do about.You may wish to know more about essay deadilines,for example or how to use the library - there are all kinds of questions you will find yourself asking and not knowing where to get quick answers from.The Helpline would be able to provide these.The last example I've given here is simply termed 'social' - and yes,there is a lot of social life here!But you may have a particular interest you wish to prusue or you may wish to participate in outings or trips if you don't know many people at the moment.
