Getting help
Where do you go with problems?
The level of advice, support and help available varies enormously from university to university.
Some have huge welfare centres, employing teams of counsellors each with different areas of expertise, from legal problems to grief counselling, from debt management to academic appeals, from finding suitable accommodation to relationship difficulties, from… you get the idea.
Other universities and colleges have a few tutors whose attitude is only slightly more sympathetic than telling you to keep a stiff upper lip and it’ll all be alright in the end.
