What had the biggest impact

Particular teachers were important in my academic growth. They were there to push you the extra mile when you didn't believe in yourself and were always happy to answer questions.

Readiness for life after school

I felt prepared for life after school academically. However, I wish they had taught us practical skills and didn't put such a pressure on academics.

That's the start of one review. The rest of it, and 14 more, are part of Full Access.
