I applied to the University of Plymouth because A, I’m from Plymouth, so I know the area and the city. And B, because I’d visited lots of different universities and I hadn’t really clicked with them or enjoyed the cities like I enjoy it here. I thought: “If I'm really missing home, and it has a good university, then why don’t I just stay?"
