Student Comments
The student view...

"I was really surprised how much I'd matured over just one year... University is more than just learning to be good at studying, there's a lot of life skills you can pick up too...

Everybody is really friendly here...

I'd like to work in a high-paid job for a big IT companyin a relatively senior position...

Neil Turner (BSc Computing and Information Systems)

Neil Turner. What inspires you?
The university is full of interesting and helpful people, both staff and students, and I think this inspires me

Why did you want to study the subject you are doing?
I've been using computers for some time and wanted to go further, but could never get a foot on the ladder. I thought doing a taught course like this would help.

What's the best thing about university?
It's a mature environment where you're treated as an adult, and there are plenty of things to do, whether they're academic or not. I also like being away from my parents and being more responsible for my own decisions.

What advice would you give to someone considering coming to university now?
Go for it! I've really enjoyed it so far . Make sure you get involved in the student union too as that's how you'll get to meet people.

What's the most remarkable thing that's happened to you since starting?
I was really surprised when I want home at the end of my first year and realised how much I'd matured over just one year. University is more than just learning to be good at studying, there's a lot of life skills you can pick up too.

Bradford has students from 110 different countries - what new things have you found out about different cultures?
A lot! I came from a city where there were very few people from other cultures, so it's been a real eye-opener for me. I've learnt about a whole variety of religious festivals that I'd never heard of, and even got involved in some of them.

Have you made any friends for life at university?
Yes, loads of them. Everybody is really friendly here.

What would be the one thing you saved if your house was on fire?
It sounds sad, but it would have to be my computer. It has all my work and music on it. It recently died on me and I was suffering withdrawal symptoms until it got fixed.

What is the most interesting fact you've learnt this week?
That the University has one of the largest collections of excavated skeletons, in the world - bigger than places like York where you'd expect there to be a lot of Archaeology

What's your big dream?
Probably to work in a high -paid job for a big IT company in a relatively senior position and have a big house somewhere. But at the moment I'm just concentrating on my degree.
