Uni Experience with Charlotte Milburn, Support at University, & MindSpace 247

Holly and Paulina are back with a new episode of the Happy Hour! For many, it’s the start of a new term, so this week’s show is all about starting and returning to college or university.

Going into further education can be a daunting and exciting time, so this episode is full of helpful tips and advice.

Holly chats to visually impaired student Charlotte Milburn about her experience of university. RNIB Connect Radio’s Ellie Marsh speaks to Lucy Lax – a Disability Advisor from the University of Sunderland who shares some tips on starting university and the support available.

Finally, Paulina will be finding out about MindSpace 247 which gives students access to qualified counsellors.
