One of the best aspects of university life has been the support I’ve received in helping me transition smoothly, especially as someone with autism. The university has provided excellent guidance, understanding staff, and accessible services that have made adapting to new routines and social environments much easier. I’ve also appreciated the opportunity to build independence and develop confidence in managing my own studies and schedule. However, one downside has been the food on campus, which often lacks variety and quality. This can make it harder to maintain a consistent and enjoyable diet, especially when sensory preferences are a factor. Overall, the support systems have made a huge positive difference in my university experience, even if the catering could definitely be improved. Being part of the girls’ football team has been one of the most positive and enjoyable parts of my university experience. It’s given me a great way to meet new people, build friendships, and feel part of a supportive community. Playing regularly has not only helped me stay active but has also boosted my confidence and social skills. As someone with autism, joining a team where everyone is encouraging and understanding has made a big difference. it’s helped me feel more comfortable in social settings and given me a real sense of belonging at university.

One of the best aspects of my course is the amazing support I receive from my lecturers. They are very understanding of my autism and always make sure I have the help I need to succeed. They take time to explain things clearly, offer extra guidance when needed, and are approachable if I ever have questions or concerns. The teaching style, which combines in-class sessions with some online learning, works well for me as it allows flexibility while still giving me regular contact with lecturers. Their support has really boosted my confidence and helped me stay engaged with the course. The only downside is that sometimes the workload can feel a bit heavy, especially when multiple assignments are due at once. However, with the help and understanding from my lecturers, I’ve been able to manage it much better.
