Caring Skills degrees

when moving to Uni I was really nervous but it all grew on me. I really enjoy the quiet life and due to my course it allows me to get into a routine that I can love and appreciate. All my teacher definitely push to having a chill and creative environment, but also if I have any issues or problems I do feel comfortable expressing any concern. looking at where my dorm is location wise I love it because I'm close to all building that have my classes and close to all shops so I can get my daily shopping for a great price. The issues that I still struggle with since moving here is friends due to my course I normally spend a lot of time on my own drawing (not even necessarily to do with work for my course but simple because I enjoy it and want to get better),due to this and switching to this course on the first week of Uni I don't have many friends. I have tried to go to more social activities but to be honest I feel a little guilt because i tell myself there is work I could be doing instead. I still do have all intention to make friends in Uni and still push my self to events.

All the facilites are in a really good place making study easy, however i think it would be even better if it was allowed to stay in some builing to work at night. Even if the Catalyst is open 24/7, it can get crowded at night during exam season and it would help if builing such as the Creative Edge can be open to student after 8pm even if they dont usually have class in the builing.

i have come back into education after 2 years and the college has supported me through my foundation degree. it has given me that confidence and being able to believe in myself and do the best of my ability.

I think that the best part of the university is the availability of software and equipment, especially for my course since a lot of software and equipment are needed that could range from a price on hundreds to thousands. However, this could be improved because there are still some software and equipment that aren’t available yet or that aren’t the latest versions/models which could help on improving my coursework performance.

All staff in university is eager to help you with any kind of questions or problems. At lectures teachers are really engaging and supportive. You never notice how quick time flies during lectures. Especially, before any assignments you are given every detail about it, so you are well prepared and not scared at all. Birkbeck suggests a lot of opportunities for busy social life, where you can meet lots of enthusiastic people, and opportunities for future career such as additional workshops, professional guests, etc. I love being a part of this community!

The staff are incredible, unbelievably understanding and supportive. They want you to succeed and you can really tell. However, Lipman building is constantly broken. The top two floors have been out of service for year and now the entire building is out of commission and not expected to be back until the summer. Surely at this point just demolish the place.
