But getting there&nbsp;is a whole separate&nbsp;thing.&nbsp;Plus,&nbsp;you are sitting with&nbsp;a&nbsp;very specific&nbsp;kind of anxiety that nobody really warned you&nbsp;about. However, that is not&nbsp;the big&nbsp;scary kind, but&nbsp;a&nbsp;logistical&nbsp;and logical&nbsp;kind&nbsp;with a constant question:&nbsp;wait, have I&nbsp;actually sorted&nbsp;everything?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You are tense about the flight, the money transfer process, and&nbsp;above all,&nbsp;you&nbsp;want your student accommodation room&nbsp;that&nbsp;almost feels&nbsp;like you have one in your&nbsp;home.&nbsp;The landlord&nbsp;is&nbsp;asking for a UK guarantor when you do not know a single person in the UK. The health insurance question you have been putting off. The airport arrivals hall at midnight in a city you have never been to, wondering how exactly you are getting to your accommodation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the part that lives in the gap between your offer letter and your first lecture.
