Find out how our huge collection of uni reviews from real students can help you make the best Clearing choice.
Updated: 18 Mar 2025
Whether you just missed out on the grades you needed for your chosen uni, you’ve changed your mind about the course you applied for or you got better grades than expected and want to apply to a different uni, picking where you want to study in Clearing can be overwhelming. Not every uni or course will have Clearing places available, so you’ll need to think about your options incredibly carefully.
But what if you’ve spotted a course that you’re interested in at a uni you’ve never heard of? Or a uni that you didn’t even consider applying to earlier? That’s where our massive treasure trove of university reviews from real students can come in very handy!

When you search for a Clearing course on Whatuni, you can enter your grades (or predicted grades) to see your chance of acceptance for all the universities offering the course. Have a good browse and see if there’s one you like the look of – and if you spot a good one at a uni you’re unfamiliar with, we highly recommend you check out the reviews left by current and former students to get some insider info.
We get around 35,000 uni reviews submitted by students each year, which is admittedly quite a lot. Trust us, we know it takes a long time to look through them, because that's literally part of our job. We don’t expect you to go through the whole lot, especially during Clearing. With that in mind, we have made it simple to find what you need from our review stash.

You can filter the reviews for each uni by subject and study level, so you can see what students in a similar situation to you think. You can also search for reviews that mention specific things, in case you wanted to know about a uni’s student societies or facilities, for example.
Student reviews can give you the confidence to pick a uni during Clearing, even if it’s somewhere you didn’t expect to go. And if they did help, when the time comes, you can submit your own review of the uni to help future students make their choice too. It’s the circle of liiife uni reviews!
