Hello! I'm the editor of the student blog and I work in the marketing team at BU. Sometimes you might see my name next to a guest post.
“Oh my god, no way! I’d never have thought that!” This is the response I receive every time I tell someone, usually begrudgingly, that I am classed as a mature student.
