At least when I moved for my BA, I had known a few people from my school who\u2019d be going to university with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I moved to York, I knew no-one at all in the city. I couldn\u2019t wait to exclusively <a href=\"https:\/\/www.york.ac.uk\/study\/postgraduate-taught\/courses\/ma-playwriting\/\">study playwriting<\/a> \u2013 the subject I\u2019m most passionate about. But despite my excitement, I was concerned I\u2019d spend a year alone and absolutely buried in work. This was so far from the truth. Within only a couple of weeks, I felt like I\u2019d lived in York my whole life. I felt immediately at home in the university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Campus life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.york.ac.uk\/about\/campus\/\">The campus is beautiful<\/a> and felt comfortable from the start. I spend the vast majority of my time on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vD0hoN4TpFE\">Heslington East Campus<\/a>, as this is where my faculty is. It wasn&#8217;t long before I established which cafes to work in. For example, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.york.ac.uk\/hub\/\">Ron Cooke Hub<\/a> is a great place to spend a day working and watching the lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aside from that, one of the best things about being here has been the course itself. I\u2019ve loved every moment of it so far. I&#8217;ve had the opportunity to work on a specific part of what I\u2019m passionate about in a way which wasn\u2019t possible at undergraduate level. Additionally, it\u2019s very self-driven, meaning that I can study at times which work for me, and on things which I\u2019m truly passionate about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/whatsapp-image-2022-03-12-at-19-09-07.jpeg?resize=1024%2C768\" alt=\"WhatsApp Image 2022-03-12 at 19.09.07.jpeg\" class=\"wp-image-9894\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/whatsapp-image-2022-03-12-at-19-09-07.jpeg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/whatsapp-image-2022-03-12-at-19-09-07.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/whatsapp-image-2022-03-12-at-19-09-07.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"> A bridge on Campus West<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s also a very small course. With only four of us, we\u2019ve all had the opportunity to become good friends. We all went to different universities for undergraduate studies, and we&#8217;ve had very different life experiences. But our shared passion for playwriting has meant that we\u2019ve been able to connect on a personal and academic level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Socialising outside studies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Outside of the course, it was surprisingly easy to meet people. I\u2019d been very worried about postgraduate study being lonely. But after one <a href=\"http:\/\/yorksu.org\">student union<\/a> event, I suddenly had a group of people who I see at least once a week for Dungeons and Dragons, film nights, or pub trips. The <a href=\"https:\/\/yusu.org\/activities\/view\/lgbtq-social\">LGBT+ Postgrad<\/a> Mixer was a great event which I credit with finding me the vast majority of my friends here. I\u2019m so glad I decided to go along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/whatsapp-image-2022-03-12-at-01-44-50.jpeg?resize=1280%2C960\" alt=\"People standing in front of a statue holding two balloons which spell out &quot;30&quot;.

I\u2019ve worked a variety of jobs in my six months in York, from tutoring to working in a restaurant. I have also still had time for my degree and a social life. Personally, I\u2019ve actually found it easier to balance the workload from undergraduate to postgraduate level. I only have six contact hours a week, and the rest is self-motivated study. This means that it\u2019s very easy to fit my work around the rest of my commitments. I still have busy weeks around deadlines, but I find that it\u2019s much easier to pre-prepare for these now that I am more in control of when I work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overall, the progress from undergraduate to postgraduate study has been great. I\u2019d like to stress that there are more positives to studying at postgraduate level than you might think initially, and a lot less to worry about. York has been so welcoming as a city and a university. I\u2019ve learnt new things about myself in terms of hobbies and time management. I still have the experiences, friends, and qualifications from my undergraduate degree, but I now have a whole new set of all of these.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ap-custom-wrapper\"><\/div><!--ap-custom-wrapper-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Moving from undergraduate to postgraduate study at York for my MA was somehow even more stressful than moving away from home for the first time.
