Student Stories
Wondering what sort of thing we can help with? Apprehensive about joining the group?
Here is what some students who attend the group have said about it…
“Like so many people I easily get apprehensive with my workload and exams thus, I decided to join the group. I had a great experience with the student social support group because our meetings involve undertaking different activities such as arts and crafts and attending events for instance, going to cinema, having lunch at town, and so on.
Also, there is always help when needed. For example, I wanted to take a test to identify whether I was dyslexic or not but being an international student I didn’t know where to turn to. When I informed Leila about my circumstance she immediately introduced me to the manager of the student support department, something that I will always be grateful about as my problem has now been solved. I will definitely come back to the group after my 12 month placement as I met and networked with friendly people and the support and advice I attained from the group really helped me to get through my second year easily!!!’
