Gemma North, 22, The University of Manchester
I’m a third-year medical student. My course is very
hard and I have to study every evening, but I’m
enjoying it. It’s also important to make time to have
fun and find ways to relax because I often have
quite a lot of stress. The hardest thing about
university is living with new people. I didn’t enjoy the
first year because my housemates weren’t very
friendly to me, but now I live with three friends and
it’s great.
Auriane Bourque, 19, University College London
I’m from a small town in France, so I didn’t know
how expensive London is. It’s difficult being a poor
student here, especially when there are lots of
exciting things to do. But it’s not all about fun. I like
to be helpful too, so I’m volunteering at a centre for
homeless people. That’s a valuable experience for
me. There are lots of international students here
which is great, because I love meeting people from
different countries.
Mark Roberts, 21, University of Birmingham
The hardest thing for me at first was that I missed
home. But I joined different clubs and I slowly made
friends. I think all new university students should
join a club; it’s a great way to meet new people and
it helps with the loneliness. I don’t always meet kind
people, of course, and some people said awful
things about me online when I first came here. I can
forgive bad behaviour, but I have no tolerance for
bullying and people who make offensive comments
on social media.
