This video is brilliant and truly insightful! I love the direction and depth of the chat.
Would also love to see a similar exploration of the mature student psychology journey. While many challenges remain the same, mature students have unique challenges, especially international students. I am curious to hear about others' experiences balancing responsibilities, returning to study, pressures, and understanding other requirements, which can be tough navigating alone. Visas and dealing with imposter syndrome add more layers. Thank you for sharing the success stories and building solidarity. Such great content :) X
