"I love living on campus, it has really helped me become the person I am today. I used to really struggle making friends and socialising back when I was in school but I've made so many friends for life within halls and will continue to make more next year. The activities on campus are fun and bring us all together.

"I've improved on my cooking skills when living independently along with cleaning and on an evening, I usually relax for an hour listening to music then go to join my friends to socialise. I often go for a walk around the amazing grounds at Kirkley Hall, listening to music, getting some fresh air and simply look at the countryside."
