I think more about the friends I met in my accommodation, the social life I had.
Yes, I think about my course as well, of course, and I wouldn't be doing the job I do today if I didn't have my degrees.
But the social life and the things that brought reward and personal fulfillment by my higher education.
very often came in the in the living space.
And so I think it's the same old messaging really of
What can you do?
to make people's diving into higher education as smooth as possible.

The challenge here is people spend their time, and of course we do this a HEPI too.
Saying universities should do this and universities should do that and universities must do this and universities must do that.
