鈥淚 like the independence of study which is encouraged here. Over time I have grown in confidence as a result of guidance from my lecturers and tutors, although they also take a step back when necessary. At the University you meet a wonderfully diverse group of people in all walks of life, from halls to clubs to the weird and wonderful traditions.鈥�
