I am aware starting your university journey may seem daunting and perhaps lonely. Myself, having had moved to Plymouth from London can understand some of the concerns or fears around university life but hopefully my experience can ease some of your anxiety :)
I'm in my 1st year of social work and so far it's been an interesting learning experience! My placements have been very insightful and inspiring for my journey in social work, at this moment my interest is around working in children's services but im still enjoying exloring my placement with adults.
My previous studies being A-Level Psychology, Sociology and BTEC Health & Social Care has definetely contributed to my interest in this career path as I am intrigued in both sociological and psychological aspects of individuals with my favorites being around biopsychology and adverse childhood experiences.
The best thing about this degree is that it's extremely broad so there's an interest for everyone. for example, it covers subjects from the medical field, law, sociology, education and psychology which gives you unlimited opportunities to explore in the future and plenty of career choices!

While completing my first year of university, it was all filled with mixed emotions, from moving in, to freshers week, studying for my course (Adult nursing) , to making an amazing group of friends. For my plans for second year is to take part in the university more, hopefully join another society. I would like to also hopefully tour different countries. I believe my favourite part of this experience was meeting new people, and creating social activities to do, for example come dine with me and movie nights. Feel free to ask any questions you may have, no question is silly. 🙂
