Testimonial #28

“After a very successful first year, my second year suddenly felt absurdly difficult. I became stressed and anxious, my marks dropped steeply and my self confidence was at an all time low. I probably would have dropped out of the course without my student advisor. She took the time for a long, personal talk, listened to me and showed me exactly where I had problems and where I was just imagining them, where others had gotten just as stuck as I had and how had they had managed. She
helped me put every aspect of my situation into proper context and find out exactly how to get out of it. She showed immense experience and knowledge about every detail of my course, the department and the different teachers' personalities. The idea that a centralised, impersonal service could provide the same assistance is absolutely ridiculous.”
