I had always known I wanted to work within a hospital environment and after a lot of work experience I discovered Radiography and immediately knew it was for me. So the next question was where to study. Exeter was everything I was looking for in my choice of university; I was instantly impressed with the campus, it is a beautiful place with an intimate, friendly feel about it and yet there is a vibrant city centre just down the road. Student life at Exeter is brilliant with a massive range of societies and clubs to join, bands playing regularly and events happening virtually every day and night.
I was diagnosed with dyslexia when I was nine and have had to work hard at my studies so a university with good learning support was essential. Exeter provides that with the Disability Resources Centre. I have one-to-one lessons and they help me with everything from exam technique to proofreading essays.
I was the first in my family to go to university, I really had no idea what to expect and was scared stiff but needn’t have worried; I have made friends for life here and the University itself is exceptional.
