Laura Tamara, SU Co-President

What are your words of wisdom for new, firstyear students?

Find your balance. Work hard on your studies and utilise the learning facilities. Also enjoy opportunities to socialise and have fun on campus. Engage, connect and have fun.

Dominika Kalinowska, Psychology BSc (Hons) Quadri Yusuf, SU Co-President

What are your words of wisdom for new, firstyear students?

The key to success is consistency and never underestimate the power of networking.

What is your favourite memory from your first year at university?

Definitely the amount of people I met from around the world. I come from a small town in Poland so wasn’t used to this - but at Bedfordshire I have met people from everywhere and learnt about their cultures, food, traditions and language.

What is your favourite thing about the University?

There’s so much to get involved in; volunteering, workshops, talks and lectures. It’s also given me a lot of independence and freedom.

Jeremiah Morgan, English Language and TEFL BA (Hons)

What is your favourite thing about the University?

The lecturers. Though not all topics have been easy, the level of dedication that the lecturers provide is second-to-none. I would directly equate my high university performance to the teachings and assistance of all my lecturers.

What are your words of wisdom for new, first-year students?

Relax. There is plenty of time to grow and develop as an undergraduate. There’s also a lot of help and support available around the University.
