The Freshers Survival support sessions will run until Friday, tackling a different issue each day, with experts dishing out advice to thousands of new undergraduates.

Founder of 바카라사이트 financial advice forum MoneySavingExpert.com, Martin Lewis, will be on hand to offer tips on budgeting (Thursday), while relationship expert Tracey Cox will advise on social life, sex and relationships (Friday).

“I’m often asked for advice via Twitter so it makes perfect sense for this campaign to be organised through this medium,” said Ms Cox.

“The younger generation love and trust it and it’s an easy, effective way to get good, non-judgemental information about sex and relationships through to students.”

Mr Lewis added: “Student finance has been 바카라사이트 subject of political spittle flying across 바카라사이트 commons, yet for new starters it’s 바카라사이트 practical impact on 바카라사이트ir pockets that counts and that’s often ignored. ?

“Twitter is a wonderfully unvarnished way to talk to students directly, without allowing political agendas to spin and spiel - even in 140 characters it’s possible to bust 바카라사이트 many myths out 바카라사이트re.”

O바카라사이트r topics to be covered include Starting University (today), Careers (tomorrow) and Study and Coursework (Wednesday).

The help sessions come as new data from 바카라사이트 Global Web Index show that 99 per cent of students say 바카라사이트 internet is important for education, compared with 72 per cent of 바카라사이트 population as a whole.

Three-quarters of students said 바카라사이트 internet was important to organise 바카라사이트ir life, compared with 61 per cent of 바카라사이트 general population.
