Student Mentors can also provide you with extra support when you arrive at University to help with orientation around your new home and also throughout the year. This support can be a one off or on a more regular basis depending on your needs. Whatever you need help with, and whenever you need it, the Student Mentor Scheme is here for you.

 

Here are a few quotes from students who received extra support during the 2011/12 academic year:

 

“During our meetings, we discuss things like budgeting, my course, my family life and my anxieties. I believe it is essential for me to have support from a Student Mentor – she makes me feel comfortable and reassured.”

 

“I found coming to university as a disabled student a completely daunting prospect and having a Student Mentor pop in to see me every now and again was such a relief. It was great to know there was someone there to ask the smallest of questions, and they always go the extra mile to help.”

 

Jane* has an in depth understanding of student life, and therefore knows exactly how to advise me and help ease my worries. I have had a lot of experience of mental health professionals in the past, but their support doesn’t compare to Jane’s*.”

 

“Emma* has made my first year at university so much easier; she is truly inspirational to me. I couldn’t wish for a more perfect mentor.”
