After moving away to the University of Leicester last September, I can confidently say that I have made the right decision for the progression of my learning and future career.
As a Business Management student, I was initially enticed by the specialist Business school- Brookfield, which is a beautifully modern building standing outside of the general university campus. In my first year I have become aware of many different people that I can contact for support including module leaders, seminar tutors and personal tutors, all of which are more than happy to help in any way they can.
Personally, I saw moving to university as quite a daunting experience as there is a huge emphasis put on the need for independence however I was soon put at ease by all of the different support systems within the university. During the start of my studies there was definitely a big focus on allowing new students to engage with their new surroundings, become familiar with their new routines and to develop connections with their fellow classmates. Tutors treat you with a great amount of respect, making communication easy and effective to ensure any questions or worries don’t get overlooked.
For these reasons I would definitely recommend both my chosen university and the course I am studying and I believe that there will be many more routes of support that I will uncover during the following years of my degree.
