I should probably introduce it, it's called 4 Chicks in LS6 (because of our Leeds postcode), and we talk all things university related, including the strikes, accommodation, and making friends.
[From left to right in photo below] Megan, Leah, Gemma (me) and Lucy were sitting eating our £3 meal deals one day, and watched a group of freshers excitedly walk into the union probably to also collect their £3 meal deal, how all great ideas begin.
Before starting University, I felt I had little guidance about what Uni was actually like, without the frills you see on an open day. On the 4 Chicks podcast, we make sure to speak honestly and yes our experience to guide others. Going to University can be difficult, and this side of it is often overlooked, especially when adolescents feel pressured into further education. Uni !! Is !! Not !! For !! Everyone !! The main purpose for us was to just have a chat about uni, whilst having a laugh.
