Student Parents of Plymouth

Meet your society secretary
Hi I’m Jody, I am 30. My son is 11. I will be starting a law degree in September, I have already done 1 year at UoP doing a law foundation degree after a long gap from education.
My husband, son, 2 dogs, 2 cats and I have lived in Plymouth for 7 years. I am a Devon born and bred girl, love nothing more than a walk on Dartmoor on sitting on the beach with a book.
Last year felt quite lonely as a mature student and a student with a child, so very excited to hopefully ‘find my people’ in this society. Excited to start this journey we are all embarking on!

I thought it was time I introduce myself properly!
I’m Charlotte, and I’m who’s attempting to set up this society. I’m 21, and about to start my second year at uni studying psychology with criminology, and my son just turned 2 (it’s gone crazy fast as I’m sure you’ll all relate to)
My partner, son and I moved to Plymouth last summer specifically for uni, and have been loving the area ever since, but are struggling to find other students who are also parents, hence why I wanted to set up this society, make our own village to share tips on how to juggle our hectic schedules and help out with what can be a lonely experience for many!
I am currently starting to plan our first event for the academic year, and look forward to meeting you all in person 🥰
