What is your favourite Radford moment?
The whole experience of Radford was just amazing and one I talk about still! Year 9 camp was an experience that I will remember until I am old and grey
How easy was it to decide what to do in life?
Deciding what to do with your life is never easy, especially at age 17/18: Do I go to uni? Don’t go to uni? What to study? What if I don’t like it? Will I get a job in my field?
Take your time and remember you can always study while working!
What advice do you have for current students?
Enjoy your time at Radford and make the most of it! Make those lasting friendships and memories because adulting is hard!
