Izzie
Southampton Solent University
BSc (Hons) Sports and Exercise Therapy
Hi my name is Izzie! I am currently in my second year of university at Southampton Solent and I am studying BSc (Hons) Sports and Exercise Therapy. I am eager to learn more about my course each day and advance my knowledge! I previously finished my A levels and wanted to pursue a career in the sports. I love playing hockey and during sixth form I played for my school team and also played for my home town, therefore I decided to carry on playing and now play for the Women's Hockey team here at Solent. It's so interesting to see a different dynamic of playing depending on what teams you are playing for. Outside of sports, I love baking as well as going for long walks in the countryside, to help me relax when I might be feeling stressed.

Phoebe
University of Essex
Biomedical Science
Hi, my name is Phoebe! I am currently in the final year of my BSc Biomedical Science (NHS Placement Year) degree at the University of Essex. I haven't set my mind on specifically what I'd like to do after my degree, but I know I'd like a job working within the biomedical field. During my first year at uni, I chose to live on campus (Colchester Campus) in South Courts, but during the following years I commuted from home, so I am happy to answer questions about both. The campus accommodates for however you're feeling e.g. from spending some time relaxing at the lakes, quiet study spots and places to grab coffee to SU events, sports teams & societies and even a nightclub! If you have any questions about studying biomedical science, the clearing process, living in uni accommodation or student life in general, send me a message and I'll be happy to help! 😊

Ritu
University of Essex
Sports Therapy
Hi ! I’m a 3rd-year undergraduate student studying Sports Therapy at the University of Essex. I started my journey here at just 17 years old, moving not only to an entirely new country but adjusting to living alone was a challenge, but along the way, I’ve picked up some tips and tricks that I’d love to share with you because I know how hard it can be.
For the past two years, I’ve been part of the V Team, and this year, I’m the Session Leader for the Refugee Teaching Program. I’ve also lived on campus all three years, so I’ve had plenty of experience with campus life, accommodations, and all things Essex.
If you have any questions about being an international student, life on campus, accommodation, or volunteering opportunities, feel free to reach out!
