Testimonials

My daughter loved her time at the Teesside Uni residential. She had lots of fun, learnt a lot about student life and made many new friends. She’s also now a whizz at bowling and karting!

Probably the most fun I've ever had! There was an amazing mix of social and academic activities, giving me a real insight into what both these areas could look like at university. I took park in the law subject session, it was so engaging and helped me decide that this is definitely what I want to study at university. The staff and student ambassadors made it a very relaxed, welcoming and supportive environment. I came in really nervous and I came out confident and feeling like a completely different person!

My son was made to feel welcome and safe from the moment he arrived. Everyone was kind and supportive, which helped him settle in and enjoy the experience. He had a great time taking part in the activities, especially the sessions around IT technology. It’s helped him feel more confident about his future and he's excited to explore his university options.

My experience at the Teesside residential was amazing. We did a range of social activities including Level X where we enjoyed karting, bowling and crazy golf to a Halloween social night where we won prizes. The academic sessions really gave me a good understanding of what it’s like to study at university and how different subjects work. Every member of staff and the student ambassadors were so welcoming, patient and kind throughout the whole residential and there for you if you ever had any problems whilst away from home. It has 100% changed my thoughts about going to university.

I really enjoyed the diverse range of disciplines covered in the residential. I’m currently trying to decide which branch of engineering to follow, so having a taste of each was very useful. My favourite parts were the flight simulator and talking to the chemical engineer representative. As it was such a small, focussed group we were able to have an in-depth discussion that was very insightful. The social activities during the evenings allowed me to form surprisingly strong friendships with the girls in my group despite the short timeframe.

I wanted to say thank you so much for the wonderful opportunity. My young person got to explore the University, hear from other students and professionals and gain an insight into University life. Everything seemed well run and I felt like my young person was safe at all times

Parent/guardian testimonial, October 2025

Teesside University was a 100/10 experience which I’d recommend to anyone. Through practical and engaging workshops, I got a proper insight into the subject I’m interested in. One of the most memorable moments was the quiz night and karaoke because everyone got involved and the energy was amazing. The campus is so cutting-edge, I really enjoyed exploring it. The student ambassadors were also down to earth and helpful. I left the residential feeling much more confident about going to university. Thank you!
