"The things I like most about being a student at Edinburgh Napier is the Universities environment and facilities."

The things I like most about being a student at Edinburgh Napier is the Universities student environment and facilities. The JKCC library is open 24 hours, meaning I can do the best that I can all the time and I am not restricted to a schedule. The campuses are compacted which mean my days run smoothly. For example, the labs are just beside the JKCC.

"The staff are very friendly and there is a lab technician around all the time to help if I need to ask any questions."

The staff are very friendly and there is a lab technician around all the time to help if I need to ask any questions. I also took advantage of the support services that the University offers and saw a CV doctor who was so friendly and helped me with updating my CV. It was extremely beneficial. The Edinburgh Napier staff fully supported me when I returned back to Edinburgh after I had some problems at home. They provided support and guidance on how to return to my semester and continue doing my dissertation.

As an international Taekwondo athlete, I have been able to participate in multiple championships with ENSA, who constantly offer support. I am also part of the Edinburgh Napier elite athlete programme who help fund my fees and transportation costs. In the effort for me to become better at Taekwondo.
