It was a great experience - we got to see all the facilities and meet other students who were interested in the same things as me.

Testimonials

Everything about the residential was super fun, even the academic sessions, the student ambassador helpers were really friendly. The accommodation is really nice with a cool, independent feel to the whole flat sharing situation, I would definitely recommend the residentials to anyone wanting to go university or considering studying a biosciences course.

This residential is such a good opportunity for young people to get out of their comfort zone and meet other like-minded students from around the UK. My favourite part were the social activities because they allowed me to break out of my bubble and see life in a different prospect. I would recommend this residential a million times over. If you don’t know anyone, don’t worry, you will meet so many new people and make new friends.

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!

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.

The residential fostered an environment where curiosity and innovation thrived. We were empowered to explore the world of engineering in hands-on, practical ways. For any girl considering a career in engineering, this residential is an amazing opportunity to ignite your passion, learn new skills, and build connections. It was an unforgettable experience!

This trip was honestly one of the best I have been on. We created a really good friendship group and enjoyed fun social activities at Tees Barrage such as kayaking and high ropes. I would really recommend coming to the residential. It’s such a good Uni and they have great facilities for cyber security, the new digital building is also really cool.

This experience has motivated me to work harder to achieve my goals. I connected and had fun with like-minded people who I would never have met if I didn’t attend. Social activities were hands down the best part of the trip! The academic side of the residential allowed me to explore new ideas and techniques such as DNA stamping and biotechnology. It aligned with my A level studies and will help me in the future. Before the residential I had never explored Middlesbrough but it’s now a place of great memories and one to remember.

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!
