The Students’ Union looks busy on the surface with lots of societies and events, but in reality I didn’t feel represented or supported. Because of my nursing placements I could rarely attend anything, and there was very little understanding of how professional courses miss out on “normal” SU life. ...

There was a lot of emphasis on “professionalism” but ...

University of Exeter open days
Are you thinking of applying to this university?
Before you do, it's a good idea to go to an open day. You can have a good look around campus, getting a better idea of what it's like to study there. You'll meet current students and staff and get the chance to ask them questions.
Universities will list upcoming open days on their websites. Most will also have virtual open days; these are a great alternative if you really can't get there in person. For tips on preparing for open days, check the advice section here on The Uni Guide.
