Starting at a new university can be a daunting experience for the brightest of people. One Marjon student, however, has taken it in her stride.
Tina Fouracre, a resident of the campus’ Kay-Shuttleworth halls, has found the transition into the student routine a breeze, and has nothing but complementary words about the institution, be it the people or the academic side of life.
“It’s really good,” The freshman exclaimed. “You settle in really quick, even though we haven’t been here that long. It’s surprising how quick you fit in and get used to everyone.
“I’m on the coach and physical education course; we haven’t actually got too much work to do at the moment, but we have a presentation coming up, so the work is slowly starting to build. Overall I’m really enjoying it.”
There is more to this student’s life than studying, though, with a bubbling social scene to get to grips with.
“There’s a big social life here; it’s really good. You go out every Wednesday, and we’ve just had Halloween, so we all went out for that. Everyone’s really nice, it’s so welcoming.”
One way of mixing with your peer group is to get involved with student sports, our interviewee keen to get going with the Marjon badminton club, though she is not hopeful of making this Friday’s Plymouth & District league game.
“The training is alright, though there don’t seem to be many games at the moment. Hopefully it will pick up, and when it does, I hope to be a part of it.”
“I don’t think I’ll be playing in that one, it’s mainly for the older years, as the first years have just started. I’ll train up a bit first and then, hopefully, who knows.”
