Starting college is exciting, but it’s completely normal to feel a little nervous about making friends and settling in. At Cadbury College, you’ll be joining a welcoming, diverse and international community where students from all backgrounds come together to learn, grow and create lifelong friendships.
Whether you’re travelling from across the city or across the world, you’ll quickly discover that there’s a place for you here. Our vibrant campus is full of opportunities to meet like-minded people, try something new and become part of college life from day one.
How to Get Involved
Clubs and Societies
One of the easiest ways to meet new people is by getting involved in our clubs and societies. From sports and creative arts to cultural groups and special interests, there are plenty of opportunities to connect with students who share your passions.
Friends on Your Course
Your classmates will often become your closest friends. Working together in lessons, collaborating on projects and studying for exams creates plenty of opportunities to get to know each other and build strong friendships.
Freshers’ Week
Freshers’ Week is designed to help you settle in and feel at home. Packed with fun activities, welcome events and opportunities to meet other students, it’s the perfect way to start your college journey and make connections from the very beginning.
Students’ Union
Our Students’ Union plays a huge role in campus life, representing student voices while organising events, campaigns and activities throughout the year. It’s a fantastic way to meet new people, develop new skills and become part of the wider college community.
Everyone Starts Somewhere
The truth is, most students start feeling exactly the same way you do. Within just a few weeks, many find themselves surrounded by new friends, taking part in events and feeling like they truly belong.
Hear from our current students as they share their experiences of starting somewhere new, finding their place, and making the most of student life. They’ll tell you what helped them settle in, the friendships they’ve made, and the advice they wish they’d known when they first arrived.
You don’t have to figure it all out on your own. At Cadbury College, you’ll find a supportive community ready to welcome you and help you find your people.
