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

Annamarie Kaushiva

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.

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

I couldn't praise the residential highly enough. It was well planned, well organised and just excellent. They absolutely loved it, it has really helped them grow in confidence and they made friends that they have already met up with, from all around the country. It has also confirmed that they want to study psychology at university. Thank you so much for offering this opportunity to them.

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!

My residential experience was instrumental in my choice to study Concept Art at Teesside. It gave me the opportunity to experience the University first hand and build lasting relationships that have continued to this day.

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.

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.
