Your Guide to thrive: cooking with a budget - tuesday 22nd october, 1:00-2:00pm & 2:00-3:00pm (GMT)
Starting university is a big adjustment and taking care of yourself with a student budget is a skillset to develop over this period. These two 1 hour sessions are the same relaxed cooking class in the Royal Free's teaching kitchen. Booking is essential as spaces are limited. A second event will be arranged if demand exceeds availability; but please book if you are available to attend and cancel your booking if you are unable to attend so that spaces are not wasted. Click the link above to book your space.

Who am I?
- About Ronan
What was your experience of Further/Higher education like?
I loved my time in uni but that wasn't because it was easy. It was a whirlwind time of anxieties and pressures. I loved it because I got really involved in uni life (e.g. socs) and was surrounded by good people.
What do you like most about your work as a Student Adviser?
Supporting struggling students to get back on track.
What's a surprising or interesting fact about yourself?
Hmm... I once broke curfew during a coup in Lesotho (southern Africa) to move 40 kids across town in 2 vans. We weren't shot.
