Life at Teesside University

Lin loves being a mature student

We interviewed Lin Fidgin, 52, BSc (Hons) Nursing Studies, to discuss her experience of being a mature student here at Teesside Uni.

We hear so many stories in the news, on social media and possibly through your mate’s mam’s friend so that, when it comes to Clearing and university, it’s difficult to establish what’s true and what isn’t.

The art of changing your mind

“What do you want to do when you leave school/college?” How many times have you heard someone say this phrase, or something similar in the last few years? Most people have an answer up their sleeve, rehearsed to perfection.

6 ways to meet new people

Making friends at uni can seem daunting but it isn’t as scary as you think. Most other students may not know anyone, so try to take some comfort in the fact that many of you are all on the journey together.

Money and you: managing your cost of living

Whether you’re studying at your local university or moving away from home, you need to start thinking about the cost of university and budgeting.

Home or away? Life as a commuter student

We spoke to MSc Criminal Investigation student Heather Lewis about her experience of studying at Teesside Uni and travelling to campus each day.

My Clearing experience

Like many students, I was never sure what I wanted to do once I left sixth form, and I never thought university was the right option for me.

Things I wish I knew before going to university

Leaving home and beginning a new chapter of life as a university student is very exciting but can also be a little stressful. You’re probably wondering what you should pack, which accommodation to choose, whether you will get along with your course mates or housemates, how to manage finances and lots more.
