GeoPALs is fantastic, it is really helpful and friendly and great being able to discuss matters with those who have so recently experienced it. Definitely recommended!

The best environment to ask questions you might think are stupid to ask a lecturer

I found GeogPALs to be a great system where students can receive help from each other. It was fantastic being able to help students in 1st year, and give advice that I wish I had got 3 years ago! It was also great to build friendships and communities between the different year groups.
