What’s it like to develop an eating disorder when you’re away from home for the first time, embarking on life as a university student?

Perhaps you’ve had eating behaviours in the past, been concerned about your body image, or had an addiction to movement and exercise – do these factors make it more challenging to even consider a move to university?

Here, as we prepare for the period in which many thousands of young people will head to university, we chat to Rachel, as she shares her own personal experiences with an eating disorder.

Rachel talks candidly and courageously about what she encountered as a student, what she had to do to get help, and what she’s learned along the way.
