University experience

Portsmouth
Because the island of Portmouth is so compacted it feels like a large town, it is very homely and you can walk from one end to the other in under an hour. The facilities are very good, with lots of labs and lecture theatres. The accomodation is good value and is close to the lecture buildings.

Amazing

Best experience ecer
University set me up for who I am today!
I also ended up regularly going down to the Uni halls first year as I made friends from my tutor who lived here. It really brought up my confiendence as I was mixing with so many people who were in a similar boat to me and were wanting to make new friends and just have a good time! And then moving out for second year is what I thank now for the reason I am very happy to be independent, so much so that I now have my own place, which I really don't think would be the case yet if I'd never had the experiences I did at Uni.
But it wasn't just the social side that I loved, lectures were also really interesting too, so much so that I went on to do a Master's in Business and Management because I enjoyed how Uni made me feel motivated and gave me something to focus on. Unfortunately Covid hit during my second year at Uni and it did change the way things were taught, but I almost appreciated this because it led to lectures being pre-recorded so you could go back and go over them in your own time, whereas before, if you missed the lecture you pretty much missed that content.
Having these degrees then helped to get me a load of job interviews and job offers when I left Uni, and I am now really happily working in HR for the Council.
Going through University really has made me feel proud of the person I have become today, as it is not easy but it is something that I would never regret due to the amazing experiences I've had along the way and friends I have made for life.
I would recommend University to anyone, and all I would say if you are considering going is don't be afraid to push yourself and go outside your comfort zone, University is the perfect time to do this and you will have so many people around you to support you along the way!
