Stuttering at University Today I (F18) have gone to an open/ welcome day for the university I plan to attend this September. I've always had a stutter but it has gotten considerably worse in the last few months. Despite this my open day went really well. I spoke to a group of other people that will be on my course and they were very patient and kind to me. I also spoke to my tutor and lecturers who gave me the email to the Diversity and Inclusion team. Overall I had a really positive experience and wanted to share. It's easy to focus on negatives experiences and to give up hope that you will find a comfortable social space when you have a stutter but I want to remind people that it is possible!! P.S sorry if this post is difficult to read its my first time writing one :)
