Student review [#46052] for Philosophy
at University of Nottingham - UoN

I’m Balu Meikle, a second year student studying Philosophy at the University of Nottingham. When first entering university, especially a Russell Group university, I felt a lot of anxiety. I was anxious about making friends, leaving home and whether my course was even right. It is worth noting that i was in fact meant to be studying a different subject at this institution but suddenly felt engrossed and intrigued by the diversity of the course. I could learn about the theology and philosophy of religion, social philosophy, metaphysical philosophy and also asian philosophy. The broad nature of the course definitely helped ease my thoughts, knowing that I could acclaim knowledge from differing aspects of the study but also stay true to my social and political roots was amazing to see. Through this course and my role as a Student Ambassador I have met so many interesting people, have learnt and found things interesting that I never thought I would and I have become a more independent and well rounded thinker.
