What's in it for you?

If you’re mentored you get help and support in developing your confidence, fitting in, making friends and settling into university life.

If you’re a mentor you get to make a difference to someone thinking about coming to university or to a new student who’s just arrived. You get to feel good, see someone’s else’s point of view and have something great to add to your CV.

“I like to make the students feel as welcome as possible, it’s that initial week that really makes or breaks whether the new students like university or not.”
