I graduated with a BA History (Hons) and loved my three years at university.

It wasn't just the course, it...

I never knew it was possible to go to college. No one in my family had ever gone to college. Despite getting high grades and graduating early from high school, college was just never presented as an option. I was encouraged to go...
