In this episode, we hear from students currently studying at both the University of Portsmouth and the University of Southampton.
The students chat about what it’s been like to study during the pandemic, the impact of the lockdown measures on their personal lives, and their time at university.
We also take a look at some of the steps people have taken to look after themselves and their mental health during this challenging time.
This series has been created as part of our Moving UP outreach programme at the University of Portsmouth which aims to promote the experience and voices of students living without parental support. Students featured in this podcast series have their own lived experiences of being in care or are estranged from their parents.
