Information for all Tutees
 
During tutee meetings with personal tutees and incoming/outgoing exchange students I used to promise sending links to further information. To make my life easier and to offer this information to all students, I have collected these links and posted them below. I usually update them once per year.
 
 
Important
 
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.
