3. Halls Life: Your Window into Student Support and London Lifestyle

Another fantastic resource available to you over the winter break is Halls Life, a dynamic blog platform filled with articles covering a wide range of topics, from academic support to student-written content and the vibrant London lifestyle. You might discover new study techniques, learn about exciting London hotspots, or find comfort in the shared experiences of your peers.

Remember, you're not alone in your journey, and the winter break is an excellent time to tap into the collective wisdom and camaraderie found on Halls Life.

4. Other hall residents: Stay Connected

While the winter break may bring some solitude, it's crucial to stay connected with friends, family, and your academic community. Why not find out who else is staying in your hall and organise to hang out? Use the WhatsApp group chat for your hall to suggest activities or just find out who is staying over.

Social connections play a significant role in maintaining positive mental health, so use this time to foster relationships and build a support network.
