Will I fit in?

You can be sure that thousands of other people have gone to university from similar backgrounds to yours, and that they have got outstanding results.

Universities are not for one particular type, class or group of people. Almost a quarter of a million young people aged 18-21 go to university every year and many older students go too. People study full-time and part-time, from different backgrounds and ethnic origins, and with a wide range of ages.
