We have students from all over the World; I love the diversity of the different cultures and different personalities. Our students are intelligent, warm, dedicated and very funny. I have worked in 4 different schools in the University over 13 years and I can safely say EEE students are my favourite. We have a real sense of community here and I get the opportunity to meet and get to know many students during their studies. Graduation is the highlight of my year, although it\u2019s tinged with sadness for me as students do eventually move on. Some still come back to visit me though!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where can students find you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I run \u2018drop in\u2019 sessions several times a week and I reserve separate appointments as well. These can be booked via emailing our dedicated \u2018eeewelfare\u2019 inbox that all students can use.

This is your chance to expand your experiences so consider joining a Society. Also, as much as you can treat University like a 9-5 job. Complete work in-between lectures to allow yourself freedom to enjoy your time at night and the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Also, don\u2019t buy stuff to take to Uni, its cumbersome to transport and often you don\u2019t need half of what you buy. You don\u2019t know what you really need until you get there and Manchester has excellent shops. There isn\u2019t much you can\u2019t buy here so why not treat yourself to a shopping trip when you arrive.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can you tell us a little about your other interests and what do you get up to in your spare time?<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_578\" aria-labelledby=\"figcaption_attachment_578\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" ><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/eee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2018\/10\/whitworth-gallery-sam.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-578\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/eee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2018\/10\/whitworth-gallery-sam-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/eee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2018\/10\/whitworth-gallery-sam-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/eee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2018\/10\/whitworth-gallery-sam-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/eee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2018\/10\/whitworth-gallery-sam.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"figcaption_attachment_578\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Whitworth Gallery<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I have a 2 year old so I don\u2019t have spare time but when I did I treasured going to gigs in the city centre.
