"I feel much more confident about considering different univeristies now. I also feel more assured that I could apply to a university like UEA"

"My mentor, Tobi, was easy to talk to and helped me a lot. I found it easy to relate to them, and having someone like them as representation was just what I needed to push through the application process."

"My mentor played a crucial role in boosting my confidence by constantly reassuring me that I have the capability to apply to a top third ranked university like the UEA."

"I had a wonderful experience with my mentor; she was very kind and showed genuine interest for my concerns. Her advice was insightful and greatly appreciated especially for my degree options."

"My mentor really got the social and personal side of things, and she gave me advice that felt just right, drawing from her own experiences."

"It's natural to gravitate towards people who share your background, rather than stepping out of your comfort zone. When there's a lack of black representation in university, it can feel like there aren't support systems in place to address discrimination if it occurs. However, my mentor reassured me that there's a community to be found at university."

"I would absolutely recommend the programme to others. It really boosted my confidence and gave me a better understanding of university life, as well as effective strategies for improving my grades. My mentor was fantastic; we clicked right away, and she was always available to answer any questions I had."
