“I experienced life...”

Catherine Thompson — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 13:26:15 +0100

In my experience university harbours an array of eccentric characters with whom we entrust our future. What are your experiences with lecturers? Have they inspired and motivated you or made you vow never to continue down the path of your degree?

“The people I was taught by made me strive to become a writer.. It wasn’t the conventional 'here’s a syllabus now let see how much you remember'. I had nothing but support from my lecturers who made me see my potential so I owe a debt of gratitude for that.”

I have been at university now for four years. I completed my undergraduate degree in 2007, and I am currently studying for my postgraduate qualification. I chose to stay at the same university to do this because, like many other students, I became involved with the Student Union. I have now been employed at the Union for three years and in this time I have noticed students becoming much less interested in the running of the organisation.
