The support here has been amazing, and the lecturers are genuinely helpful and really care about students. If you’re thinking of studying at Chester, I’d say go for it and make the most of it! Don’t just study in your room - go and join the events that the university hosts, ask questions, talk to lecturers, make friends, and put yourself out there!"
