Wiktoria made a bold decision to leave her hometown of Chesterfield and pursue her dream of studying law at York University.
“I chose York for a few reasons. The first time I visited was when I was seventeen and I instantly fell in love with the city.” “There is so much history, and I learn more the longer I live here.”
The worst thing is being so far away from my family and familiar surroundings, making York my familiar has been strange. I know Chesterfield town centre like the back of my hand.”
“Being fully dependant on myself has also been something I’ve had to learn while living away from home; I do enjoy it though.”
“Learning how to cook for myself, making sure I eat enough and healthy meals, food shopping, financial decisions. Living at home made me realise how much I did depend on my parents.”
Her favourite item that she brought with her is her stuffed dog, Benji. She has had Benji for as long as she can remember, and he was the first thing she packed to take to York with her.
“I’d tell other students moving away from home to not stress themselves out too much, don’t let your own mind and worries stop you from meeting new people.”
