STaR Mentor experience: In the Autumn term 2023, being a STaR Mentor meant that I was supporting new students with their start at university. All mentors attended training and learnt about good practice mentoring. I received up to 25 mentees who I supported & mentored in their first term at the University of Reading. I gained skills in communication, leadership and mentoring whilst also giving back to the UoR community. I worked hard at my mentoring role helping new students feel more confident and informed during their start at university.

Well laid out timetable, allowing time between lectures to rest, catchup on studies/ assignments and revise. Plenty on contact-time in lectures and workshops to engage with lecturers and ask questions. University itself has plenty of support available to students from mental health, exam support, calculation support, referencing and writing support and much more.
