Over the next few weeks, over a million new university students will be heading to campus. Many of them may be nervous about what lies ahead, which is understandable given that most of them will be in a new place, living away from home for the first time, and faced with the prospect of building an entirely new friendship group.
One of their main worries will be about establishing a sense of belonging. Anxiety around this is completely normal, but I believe that reading literature from the “dark academia” genre could help put such fears to rest.
