I really enjoyed my time at university. The teachers were helpful and made learning interesting. There were also lots of clubs and events, which made it easy to meet people and have fun. The campus had a great atmosphere too.

One of the best things about my adult nursing course is the hands-on experience. The placements give us real-life practice, which helps build confidence and skills. The lecturers are also really supportive and knowledgeable, always willing to help when needed. However, the workload can be quite intense, and balancing placements with assignments is challenging. Sometimes, communication about timetables or placement details could be clearer. But overall, it’s a rewarding course that really prepares you for the job!

University has been up and down i have good days and bad days. I started University back in 2022; technically, I should be on my 3rd year, but the stress of life caught me. I ended up having a breakdown and failed my last assignment at the end of my 1st year; I was distressed about it. I thought of leaving the course and just leaving it. But with the help of my lectures. They recommended that I try to stay well after I explained to them what had been happening at home that had gotten me to that point. I reached out to Student Well Being and told them my story, and they put me on a waiting list to be seen, which didn't take long. Within 2 weeks, I was being seen and had CBT sessions, which helped with my past traumas and present things that were spilling into my University journey. A month later, I enrolled for a module retrieval year and passed my module. The same lectures, even though I wasn't in their cohort anymore they still emailed or called to check in. They went above and beyond to get me back on track with my degree. When it came time to enroll for my second year, they still were there, to this day even though with new module leads they are still available for me. Will forever be grateful. Didn't expect to get my mental health in order through University.

I can only say that, as of now, childcare is what I am struggling with. Besides that, I can't really complain.
