    • Most of my tutors seem really approachable and they always respond to my emails in a timely way. My contact hours are quite small in comparison to some of my friends but I don't mind that because I like to study independently in the library. There is quite a lot of group work assessments which I've found difficult. I prefer to study alone and to my own time-frames.
