Aim Higher
Student Feedback
“In my first year of college I decided to that I wasn’t going to university but after ‘Aim Higher’ had sent us on trips where we were given all the relevant information I decided that it might be good to explore all my options, instead of just deciding no without knowing what I was saying no to.
‘Aim Higher’ brought a bus to college with students on it from university that told us what student life was like socially and academically, this made a real impact on what I thought. Then ‘Aim Higher’ got different tutors from universities to come in and tell us what the course ratings were like. That was good because in a way it told us what we wanted to know for example:
- How many people passed the courses each year
- How many left straight into a job
- How many people dropped out each year
- How big the classes would be each year
These were all things that we wanted to know and I think that it really did help to change my mind and I decided to go to university”.
