“Before UniPrep I was skeptical about the programme and meeting new people. I was used to sticking to my own close network of friends but after convincing from one of my close friends to sign up for the programme, I don’t regret it at all.”

Xavier

“After leaving high school I didn’t know if I wanted to study or work until a friend told me to join UniPrep. I wasn’t sure if it was a good idea until I saw a how much fun everyone looked like they were having, now it’s probably the best choice I’ve made in my uni journey so far.”

“Everywhere you walked, you would hear laughter and see smiles. UniPrep became more than just a transition programme, It was inspirational and life-changing. I made friends who became family and I have no regrets from the programme, just gratitude.”
