My so-called student life

Some Greater Manchester students have recorded their thoughts and feelings and experiences in the first few weeks of university for the Aimhigher Greater Manchester video diary project - "My so-called student life." You can view those video clips here and also e-mail the students to ask them questions about Higher Education, Student Life and going to University. Just click on the links below.

"My so-called student life" will capture the highs and the lows of  life at university. The video diaries will be shown on a number of Aimhigher Greater Manchester websites and will also be made into a DVD for local schools and colleges.

The intention of the project is to provide an insight into the realities of student life and to encourage more young people from Greater Manchester to consider Higher Education as an option.
