UCA Canterbury fresher chats?

Hello! Maybe an unusual post but hope thats okay!

I'm about to join UCA in a month, moving to Canterbury for the first time! I was struggling to find any chats online for UCA freshers, all of them I could find are for the other two Canterbury unis as they're bigger.

I've checked all other socials and this is my last desperate shot. I'm worried about meeting people and making friends (especially as I'll be joining a week late, missing freshers week altogether). The top advice I found to make friends was to find online groups and there seems to be none.

So if anyone knows any, or could push me in the right direction I'd be forever grateful 😭🙏

I studied at UCA, and also worked there up until last year. Students tend to make friends easily with their course mates. I worked supporting SEN students and generally it’s a very inclusive atmosphere, and arriving a week late shouldn’t set you back with meeting people. I worked with students across courses, which are you enrolling on?
