Description: Student support provides basic information on student finance, student grants, student unions, student accommodation and student discounts.
Becoming a student is not only an exciting time in a young person's life, it can also be a time of great stress and concern, and this is where utilising the available student support services comes into play.
Many people who become students are leaving home for the very first time, and out of the family unit and environment they can become distressed and disorientated, especially if they are not as confident as others.
The idea behind student support is that it is there to provide advice and support for young people who are embarking upon university or college life for the first time; being able to talk to an individual who is well versed in dealing with others problems is a great help, and student support covers many different aspects of the life of the student.
