Tips for Tutees
 
During the personal tutee meetings I promise many of you to send links to further information. I thought that these links might also be useful for all other tutees (at least at some point in your student life). So I am collecting these links and post them below. I hope you find this useful.
 
When you begin your studies at the UoN, it is VERY IMPORTANT that, you register with local health services as soon as possible. Here is some information about The UoN Health Service [url]. Don't forget to also register with a dentist.
