Hi,
I am a second year student who have experienced taking a gap year after completing A-levels in sixth form.
I then took a local college course as I wanted to go into a degree programme where my A-levels wouldn't apply (STEM A-levels wouldn't do for an English and Journalism degree ) and decided the college course would work out cheaper than a foundation course at uni. So that took 2 years. If you are a mature student and worried about adjusting, I can reassure you that the first year is all about making sure everyone is on the same page.
I am also here if you have any issues with roommates as I had to relocate so understand how it can affect your well-being. I can also relate if you come from a bigger city and find it an adjustment to get used to being a student in a smaller space that lacks the usual diversity from big places.
Otherwise, I like reading, running, and sewing but feel free to reach out for a chat about nothing and everything under the sun :)

Nutrition and Health BSc (Hons)
Hi, I’m Angel! Thanks for looking at this profile. I got into Nutrition and Health because I’m passionate about health in general but related to food and exercise specifically. I’ve seen so many people disregard health despite it being so important and I think a lot of diseases can be prevented if people are more aware of what they are consuming. Oh, I exercise too! I often go to the gym and I was into Muaythai a few years ago. Also, I love watching movies and reading books. I am currently watching Modern Family and reading The Molecule of More. Anyways, I hope you find what you are looking for here. Feel free to drop me a message anytime and I’ll do my very best to’ answer you soon. I’m very excited to be able to chat and know you guys!

Biology - BSc (Hons)
Hi! I’m Amelia, and I’m studying biology at UOL! I am the course rep for my year and also a student ambassador, and my interests in biology are towards the structural aspects. I enjoy learning about human biology and how the human systems work, and the similarities between us and animals. I hope to study more about the history of biology, such as fossils and bones in the future, as well as ‘ancientbiotics’ - how humans treated diseases without the knowledge we have now. In my free time I like to help out and volunteer with projects relating to my interests in biology and also tabletop games!
