Lack of ACS

There has been a major increase in the number of African students that have enrolled in the last year but many of us have failed to establish a sense of community amongst ourselves. I can say that Uni life has not been easy to navigate and not having a village of people who are like me has been tough so I can only imagine what someone else is going through. I think the Uni needs to integrate an ACS for students like me, to know that they have people who they can rely on as well as provide an escape from what can be an overwhelming work life
