"I talked to students that were already doing postgraduate degrees and asked them how they found it, which reassured me that I'd be able to work and do my postgraduate at the same time."

Plymouth is a beautiful place; it has history and culture… plus the local food is pretty good too. Another thing I should shout out about Plymouth is how unusual it can be – there are a hodgepodge of tastes, people and architecture which makes the city wonderful!
