It is commonly agreed that education takes form in both the student’sacademic and social experiences. Whether the it is more likely tolisten to the lyrics of Pink Floyd or the inspired thoughts of MarkTwain, it is understood that the insight and understanding that canbe achieved in learning environment such as university is comparable to none. With UK educational institutions under heavy financial stress, higher education is more valuable than ever.

Friendship is a key component to university lifestyle. Like the TaoistYin-Yang, friendships peform a dual role during university. They canbe dynamic forces that will cause trouble while providing support simultaneously. In this piece, Amy Moran & myself are used as anexample of a friendship stretching over 6 years- and the importanceof our university experience together. Friends help each other grow,keep each other safe and enjoy each others company.

STUDENT FRIENDSHIPS

”There are basically two types of people.People who accomplish things, and peoplewho claim to have accomplished things.The first group is less crowded.

One of the special things about the unversity experience, is thenumber of oppurtunity and achievement that is offered to studentsevery day. Whether your a student society committee member, a student representative, or whether you just take pride in yourwork; University has it all. Student Achievement has long been an important factor. but as the job climates get more difficult to manage achievments are becoming more valuable every day.

Keele Campus represents the student’s experience of discoveryperfectly. With many historic and hidden landmarks. Such as thehidden amphitheatre, the gothic Keele Hall, the underground tunnels and the way the seasons drastically change campus appearance. The whirlwind of discovery that occurs during university life occurs as a result of rapid personal growth.

STUDENT EXPERIENCEThe Student Experience is what combines all of the other aspects Ihave represented through out this feature. We learn, to enhance ourexperience and education- to which our many friendships and discoveries are key. Utilising all of these assets we are able toacheive great things, and with each achievement we gain many newexperiences. Everyday, students experience new sensations -not allof which are necessarily enjoyable and with every experience webuild ourselves into who we will become.
