“Going to university should be a positive, life-changing experience…but can be daunting and for some overwhelming”

—Damon Hinds, Education Secretary (March 2019)

Decades of research show the culture shock which students can experience when starting university.

Despite being top performing students, our young people have not been equipped effectively to deal with independent academic study and living. Students can experience challenges with academic, money and life which negatively impact progress and happiness, resulting in drop out and mental health issues.

"Uni is very different to school in the sense that you won't have your lecturer checking up on you for homework/deadlines."

"University isn't half as scary as you think it might be. It's great fun, you'll make friends for life, and as long as you work hard (after first year, of course), you'll come out with a great degree!."

"Join as many societies as you can so you have a few circles of friends because everyone is desperate to make friends in the first few weeks but after a few months you might find you have nothing in common with flatmates."
