Help and guidance

• Video transcript

  I had a feeling that I hadn’t done that well in my A-levels.

  It is quite an emotional day because some people are so happy and it was quite upsetting.

  So, I made the call to Sussex.

  Did you call them first?

  Yes, and straight away I sorted it out.

  And then, that same day I came to Sussex looked around the campus because I had not been before, absolutely loved it and just felt so welcome.

  When you go to a campus and you get a good vibe and feel like you fit in...that’s what I felt at Sussex.

  Two weeks before results day I decided I needed to start doing my research.

  How does Clearing work? Which universities are offering clearing spaces?

  So, I was looking through individual university websites, UCAS as well. Who offers Philosophy?

  I knew Sussex was a good university. Some of my friends had been there the year before.

  And they had a really good experience.

  I looked at their Philosophy course and it was really good.

  Then on results day I saw I hadn’t got into my first choice, cried for about five minutes, then I thought, “OK, cool. I’m over it now.”

  I couldn’t get through for the first ten minutes because it was so busy but I didn’t panic.

  I just waited a bit, left it for 15 minutes and then called back, got through and the lady was really lovely.

  She explained to me that I couldn’t get on to my chosen course with the grades I had but I could get on to the foundation course.

  So, I just said, “Yeah, let’s do it!” That was it!

  I literally prepared myself for it to be so hard...it was so easy.

  What do you think your life would have been like if you didn’t go to Sussex and hadn’t taken that step to go through Clearing?

  I honestly have no idea. I couldn’t imagine not going to Sussex and not living in Brighton.

  Brighton has become my favourite place in the UK, hands down.

  It’s got the sea. It’s got the countryside; just past Sussex and you’ve also got city life.

  And great teaching as well, what more could you want?

  I feel like I’ve grown massively. Having gone through that process you have to grow up quite quickly when you go through Clearing as you have to make decisions and you need to know what you want.

  At the time it seems like such a big deal, so scary, but everything works out.
