  • You don’t have to choose one thing at every uni in UK anymore - I studied Liberal Arts at Notts and studied loads of subjects and topics (you can choose whether or not you want to major in a subject !) great for those who are creative but also don’t wanna ditch all the subjects you are interested in. I had the best time ! ❤

    I’m starting my course at mmu tomorrow and I’m commuting from home rather than living at uni, I’ve been quite anxious about making friends but this video has definitely made me feel more confident :)
  • Omgggg the horror stories! I’ve got so much respect for you and how you survived living in that space, I would’ve died in that kitchen 🥲🥲🥲
  • @tajashania
    Me watching this even though I graduated 3 years ago with no intention of returning: 👁️👄👁️
  • @mollyhill7120

  • @ellasvideodiary
    this is so interesting and helpful, i‘m turning 18 next week and gonna graduate next year and i plan to study graphic design with a focus on illustration and i‘m just sooo excited but also scared because i dont feel like a grown up that just lives alone and can do these big decisions by themself yet😭😭 its just a very scary period in my life but i know that i want to do it
  • @Sassymouse88
    I went back to uni when I was 27! There were a lot of "mature age students" in my course, I was def not the oldest! 😂
  • @onad458
    I started uni a week ago and i was SO SCARED, luckily it’s been fine so far and i’ve met some nice people, also, you keep saying there’s a lot of free time and over here stressed already hahahah
  • i went to uni for one semester before dropping out and moving back home to do an apprenticeship, looking back I wish I had a more enjoyable uni experience but the city and environment where the uni was, was just ugh. I already know I dont want to do the job im doing at my apprenticeship but I also know i don't wanna go back to uni, lol
  • @ip3931
    Thank you for sharing your experience! I'm a mature student with no smooth trajectory so far however I remain determined. I hope all of can succeed!

    Revolut helped with opening a bank account when I first came to England,to deposit my salaries. Every other bank wanted proof of address but I was living in accommodation 😢
  • Please I am an international student who has never been to the UK before. I received 2nd year offer from both MMU & Sheffield Hallam for Engineering, I really gotta choose 1 uni from these so I can pay the deposit for either one of them, before start date at September. Do instructor’s support students? ? How are the facilities there like the library? Does the administration or whatever department that’s in charge of the students give any support to students? Overall what do you think of the uni?
  • @Hillary429
    I’ve never heard of a bar only for hospitality workers (I live in the US, California) is Sherlock’s unique in any other way? I would assume cheaper but maybe more serve yourself or something? I’m just very curious
  • @jasminbedir74
    Hii hoping to go to mmu but i was wondering what is the University like , is it comfortable to be around in study areas and lecture halls. Does the university in general look nice? Im so curious and its a big deciding factor for me. Unfortunately i cant go to an open day :) btw your videos have been really helpful thxx
