On leaving university you do not need to sort your life out immediately. Take control by focusing on small goals, one at a time e.g. prepare your CV, clean up your social media profile, get back on track with your interests or sport. And reward each accomplishment - it represents progress, and will help you to stay positive and motivated.

Lovely campus, staff are very approachable and modules are really interesting. Campus is very close to the nearest station (5 minute walk, if that). New food options in the cafeteria daily, variety of tea, cereals, stationery and hygiene products available at the university cafeteria too.
My study experience has been enriching and transformative. I appreciated the opportunity to engage with diverse perspectives, develop valuable skills, and grow as an individual. While there were challenges, I learned to navigate them and appreciate the support systems in place. To improve, I suggest enhancing resources for students and expanding extracurricular activities. Overall, I'm grateful for the experience and feel well-prepared for my future endeavors.
Great university overall, the only negative thing I will have to say regarding this university is that the overall student in-class interaction was a little scarce. The latter has probably to do with the fact that when I joined this uni it was full pandemic and Brexit. Hence, the majority of the students where from the uk, and for them attendance is not compulsory. The other major problematic relates to food. The refectory food was almost the same throughout the years, and quality was not that great.
