I was struggling to choose the right university and course until I reached out to ELAB for help. Together, we completed the application process, with University of Surrey as my firm choice, and Durham university as my insurance. I am now at the University of Surrey, on my way to a First-class honours degree in Biological Sciences and the University of Surrey Women’s Tennis First Team Captain. I met an unbelievable amount of amazing people and made lifelong friends from all around the world who I look forward to seeing whenever I go back to university. I am extremely grateful to Elab for helping me through every step of the way -- from figuring out what course is ideal for me, to mentally preparing me for starting university abroad.

Elab has helped me choose my career path. I’ve been given advice on which universities to apply to, to have the most opportunities in the future. Discussions with my consultant and mentors from different universities have helped me to learn what I still need to work on and improve to achieve my goals. I feel much more confident in going to university now! I have already recommended Elab to a few people and will definitely do that again! If you want to study abroad, that is the best place to ask for help.

A friend of mine told me about Elab, as she herself applied to unis with their help. They have helped me choose the best course and university for me, write the personal statement, and apply for a student loan. I would call them anytime I had any questions. Also, being an Elab ambassador, I’ve had the opportunity to share my experiences as a student on Elab’s social media, you can check them out on Instagram and Facebook. My time at university has been lovely from the very first day. The people I’ve met are incredibly friendly and helpful. My flatmates are my best friends but literally everyone at uni is amazing. I can honestly say that coming to study in Wales is the best decision I’ve ever made!

The idea came to me when I was on holidays with my parents in Amsterdam. We stumbled upon one of the universities’ campuses and I was just so in love with the place. At the beginning of my last year of high school, I found Elab and immediately scheduled an appointment. I knew that I would need some guidance when it came to the whole application process. During that time Elab was very helpful. Starting off with instructions on how to fill in the application forms online to helping me collect and prepare all necessary documents, looking for a flat, and any other pre-departure tasks, they were with me every step of the way.
