They say University is a
place where everyone has grown up, but at the same time not quite so. There's
still the edge of living the last few years as young adults before we go into
the big scary real world! Working in the Enquiries Unit has got me thinking
back to when I was in the same position as most of the students two years ago.
Although everything seemed easy at the time, the fees were low, we'd had many
talks on student finance and accommodation seemed an easy enough process. However
one thing was still the same, the pressure. The pressure of moving into a new
environment, away from familiar faces, away from family and friends. Like an
alien world to us, we had to suddenly start thinking about our future and the
paths we will take.
University of Greenwich
was never my first choice; in fact I added it in last minute after thinking
that I did not want to leave London. I remember visiting the campus and falling
in love with it the moment I walked around! I can briefly remember one of the
tutors for Events Management encouraging me saying that London was THE place to
study Events Management. The only thing I'll say to that is how right he was.
With Greenwich being the heart of London, everything is not only at your
doorstep but the opportunities are endless. Where else to go for events when
the events come to London!
For those students, who
are still undecided or unsure of what course to study or where, ask around!
There are now so many platforms where new students can speak to current
students and share experiences. It may make the life-changing decision slightly
easier! Always keep in mind; you are not the only one in that position.
Hundreds of students go through the process every year. But remember, keep your
chin up, be optimistic and think hard about what you want yourself! And on that
last note- Good Luck!
