Starting university is an exciting adventure, but it can also feel overwhelming at times. From navigating new surroundings to balancing study and social life, there’s a lot to adjust to. That’s where UC Mentors come in - experienced students who’ve been through it all and are here to help you thrive.
UC Mentors are second-year (or above) students who know the ins and outs of university life. They’re here to answer your questions, offer practical advice, and make your transition to university smoother. Whether it’s sharing study tips, helping you find the best coffee on campus, or pointing you toward academic or personal support services, they’ve got your back.
UC offers mentoring programmes tailored to diverse needs - whether you’re seeking academic guidance, social connections, or someone to help you navigate your first year, there’s a programme designed to help you thrive.
