How's it going?

Hopefully the dust has settled from freshers fortnight now so how is uni?

Do you like the course?

Are the lecturers approachable?

How are your course mates?

Do you commute or live in halls?

Is the local area nice?

Would you change anything?

Hi,
I hope you are well!😊

These are some really good questions!

Are you a first year student too, curious about how others are getting on? Or are you currently applying to university and want to know a bit more about first years experiences? 🙂

I won't bore you too much with all of my experiences at university, as I am in my final year now- and have quite a few! But just for context, and if you would like to know anything more about any of my experiences:

•

I study Social Science (which is a mixture of Psychology, Sociology, Criminology, as well as History, Social Policy and bit of Politics too)

•

I absolutely love my course! I've learned so much over my 3 years, and have loved all of my modules.

•

I love my lecturers, I'm quite lucky because my cohort is smaller than most, which means I get to speak to my lecturers quite a lot, and as a result, have quite good relationships with my lecturers.

•

My course mates are my best friends! I didn't meet them all during freshers, in fact, we all met during the end of first year, and into to start of second year.

•

I live at home, and commute to campus. I felt that this was the best option for me, and I've never regretted it. Fun fact- you can still have a social life and be part of societies even if you commute, or live at home🙂

•

I study at Medway Campus, and while the local area isn't as exciting as living in a busy city with lots to do, there are still some fun things to do in Medway.

•

I wouldn't say that I would change anything. I've really enjoyed my course, and my modules too, and have found some great friends along the way too! Who will definitely be my friends in years to come😊
