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.

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.
I would really recommend going on the residential as you’ll learn about the variety of courses they have to offer and the different facilities available to enhance your learning. The social aspect of the residential is also amazing. Getting to meet new people, who are doing different things and chatting about their plans gives you something to think about. The staff are so lovely and accommodating, making sure they’re there for you while you are away from home. Overall, 10/10 experience and couldn’t recommend more.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
