Following my passion for psychology since sixth grade, I chose to study psychology as my bachelor’s degree at Manchester Metropolitan University. I wasn’t too sure what to expect from the course. No, my university experience thing is that I was the first in my family to go to university, and I didn’t have any older friends that had gone to university either. Therefore, I found myself going to university with a couple of my friends, and we were all in the same class. We would support each other a lot of the time, but we also had a lot of fun. We had a lot of different experiences, but overall, I think that the course was a positive one for all of us. The course was exciting, and it was nice to be able to study something that we were so passionate about and enjoyed doing. We would help each other with our coursework, share notes, discuss new ideas and have debates on the topics we were studying. The exams were quite stressful. However, the tutors’ support of the university and the faculty was unwavering, and we really needed and appreciated their time and effort. The accommodations at the university are also quite nice. I didn’t really enjoy living with other people, and that’s why in my second year I chose not to. However, I still cherish the time that I spent with my flatmates in the first year. I enjoyed being at this university so much that I chose to stay there while I did my masters, and it was only because of the support and the relationships that I cultivated with my tutors and staff members that I chose to stay and chose to continue in postgraduate research.
