Hi, I’m James. I’m studying Law at Keele.
I applied through Clearing because I’m a mature student.
When I was going through the process, I came and did a tour, and one of the first things that struck me was just how friendly all the students and staff were.
One of the hang-ups I had with Clearing was being different, especially being slightly older, I was worried that I would miss out on certain things, but there’s such a fantastic student population here, and a fantastic environment to be in and learn.
My advice to anyone wanting to apply through Clearing is just to pick up the phone. That’s what I did, and everyone is so friendly and so supportive, they’ll just help you through the whole process.
