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.

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.
The best University residential experience I've had. It really served as an enriching experience that helped me decide if University was an option for me. I'd definitely pick Teesside University as my first choice now simply because of this experience. The academic sessions gave me a feel for what and where we would be studying related to our chosen course and I just learnt so much during those 3 days
My son had a great time and made some lovely friends. The residential was fantastically well organised and proved to be an excellent taster of what life could be like at university.
As a parent, it’s important to me that my son gets to experience living away from home in preparation for his future studies. This residential stay gave him a valuable opportunity to explore university life, get a feel for the campus, and reflect on his academic goals. He came back with a clearer mindset, more confidence, and a stronger sense of independence. We truly appreciate the warm welcome and support provided by Teesside University. Thank you for offering such a meaningful experience that has helped my son grow both personally and academically.
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.
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!
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.
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.
