The student relations counsellors at Campus Vestfold
Easily available help and support
Do you have any questions? Do you need someone to talk to about small or big things in life? Do you need help finding an association or something else to join? Is there something going on in the flat share you live in?
On campus, you can meet an easily accessible counsellor/coordinator who you can talk to about these things and much more. In short, most things that concern you as a student - in your life outside your studies.
If you are already involved in student volunteering, you can also get help and support with student association work. If you want to get in touch with the associations on your campus, the student relations advisor/coordinator is also the person to talk to!
Urgent need for help?
