[QUOTE="Daniel Boden, post: 73901, member: 487"] Aside from what [USER=1572]@Dheepa[/USER] and [USER=5505]@Neville Birdi[/USER] have already said (which covers pretty much everything I'd thought of) I'd just like to reemphasise how much I enjoyed being a part of my sport's society (hockey) at university in conjunction with my course's society and the law society so I'd really encourage you to at least join those 3 if you want as you'll be able to meet so many people and make so many great friends through them! The Law Society will introduce you to all of these various events and publicise them so I'd encourage you to join it and try and network/meet as many people as you can. If I was to do first-year again, I'd just try and attend as many open days/firm events/dinners etc as possible so I can build my network and so that I really give personal anecdotes when it comes to applying to these firms in my 2nd year for vacation schemes which would set me apart. Equally though, don't get too caught up with networking ALL the time. Your first year of uni almost certainly won't count towards your final degree mark so make sure you have as much fun as possible as it's likely you won't be able to socialise/go out as much etc in the other years of your degree since your results are more important. Hope that helps and best of luck! [/QUOTE]
