"I am currently studying in university of Stirling along side nine other girls from the course, and I just happened to be living with two of those girls which was a massive advantage when moving over to a strange place. Since starting the degree programme, I have realized what a massive impact the PLC has had on my studies and what an impact it has had on developing myself as a Nurse."
