Hi, I'm Romey!
I'm applying for international relations. My favourite subject that I take is philosophy, and I'm most looking forward to making new friends :smile:

I read that Portsmouth is a city university; does this affect the social scene?

Hi I’m doing politics with international relations idk if that means we’re in the same class but yo. Yeah it’s a city uni but that just means that the campus is in the city centre as opposed to a silly distance away. It shouldn’t affect anything except make it easier to do primary research right outside your dorm ig 😭
