Youth Work degrees in North West England

University has been a mix of incredible highs and frustrating lows. The best part has definitely been the freedom—being able to explore subjects I’m genuinely interested in, meeting people from all walks of life, and finally feeling like I have some control over my own routine. Some of the friendships I’ve made feel like they’ll last a lifetime, and there’s something exciting about the late-night study sessions, spontaneous adventures, and even the occasional deep conversations with people I just met. But on the flip side, the pressure can be overwhelming. Balancing deadlines, social life, and basic self-care sometimes feels impossible, and there are moments when imposter syndrome kicks in hard. There have been times when I’ve felt completely lost, wondering if I’m actually on the right path or just going through the motions. Still, even with the stress, I wouldn’t trade the experience—it’s been chaotic, challenging, and sometimes exhausting, but it’s also been one of the most defining periods of my life.

From the excellent facilities to the strong support system and nature-driven environment, choosing Edge Hill University was one of the best decisions I’ve made. The experience has shaped my perspective and deepened my passion for innovation, which is a core aspect of my profession. Support was always within reach, and the quality of teaching made a lasting impact, fueling my enthusiasm for Android development. This, in turn, inspired me to start a product with a friend—one we hope to bring to the public in the coming years. The location isn't at the heart of the city, so commuting to school was a bit challenging for me.

The lecturers are lively and interactive. We had the opportunity to share our experiences at the student cafe and I love that they took note of students concerns. Generally the campus life is quite engaging.

I just moved into Manchester, and the facilities are great, but they need more events for making friends as it is hard for fresher and they could add more places to study for example more independent cubicles and they should lower the prices of food so it’s more easier to afford.

The best aspects of my University are that it has a great location, which is very accessible. It also offers a lot of opportunities, such as travelling abroad and careers. The worst aspects would be the signal and the Wi-Fi.

The staff and students around the campus are always so welcoming and friendly. It really makes me enjoy where I’m studying. I think something that could be improved is the university’s response to student based issues.

The 24 hour liabry does help a lot and this university is good when it comes to understanding external stressors and being mindful of them and it is a good uni for understanding learning disabilities, compared to others. Could be improved with telling all students what's available there a lot that is available but isn't to easy to find the information etc global citizens schemes.
