Chloe's Advice for Future Students

Considering joining the FRA? Chole has some invaluable advice! Her number one tip is: "Just do it! It's literally the best decision I've made - I don't think I would have done as well at another university!".

Chloe also recommends getting familiar with Canva, a tool she uses often in her degree. It's widely used platform at the FRA and is a great way to make your projects look creative and professional.
