Ten things to do before you graduate

As thousands of students approach their final week at university, here are lists 10 things to make sure you've done before leaving the DEN. 

1. Go on tour.while nsk might seem to be bore-ville, she has sight to offer. you could start with vet.mountain The stories are legendary. 

2. Get to know as many of your classmates as you can. You will never know whom your next door neighbor will be 

3. Gain a skill for free that you would have to pay for otherwise – free photography or language classes tend not to exist in the real world. 

4. Make full use of your student card before it expires, watch movies at discount rate, board a flight at students rate. The next time you will be getting these kinds of a concession is likely to be when you are a senior citizen. 

5. Go to an all-student performance. Student performances are excellent value for money: cheaper than your average professional performance and sometimes a very high – even better – standard. 

6. Give an unlikely relationship a shot. It might not work out, in which case, you can easily go your separate ways once you graduate without any complicated situations. On the other hand, it might surprise you – roughly a quarter of students meet their spouses at university. 

7. Go to as many fancy dress socials as possible, and take the dressing up part seriously. It’s not as acceptable to paint yourself blue and dress like a Smurf when you’re a grown up, and it will produce some excellent photo memorabilia. 

8. Go to all your lectures and do all your required reading for a week – just so you know what it’s like. 

9. Make an effort to get to know someone who has completely different interests from you and/or is from a completely different walk of life. Chances are, your social circle will be a lot more unvaried once you graduate. 

10. Speak to a careers’ adviser. It may not be the most fun-filled thing you can do in your final weeks of the year but, ultimately, university is a means to a job. Whether you know exactly what you want to do, or don’t have a clue, university careers services are an unparalleled resource.
