How is uni different to school or college? Akua explains

University is unlike anything that comes before it. For some, you’re moving across the country, away from your family and friends to be in a place you don’t know. You’ll probably be living with strangers. It’s an exciting but unknown journey.

I moved from London to Leicester, about 90 miles, and I was lucky that many of my friends were going to the same university as me. But I still found the transition huge.
