It was at this point that someone told her about the University of East London. “I came down with my husband and my kids. And we just took a walk along the waterside. I remember saying to myself ‘I want to be here’. There was something about the peace and calmness of sitting near the waterside. But what sold it most for me was the library. I fell in love with the library.”

Beaming with confidence Aisha’s time here helped her become more confident – she benefited from on-going advice and encouragement from our social sciences lecturers. She even became a programme rep which gave her an opportunity to sit down with lecturers and voice other students’ concerns.

Meet Ben – studying with autism

Undergraduate Study Guide - 2022

From college to university

Support from a peer mentor

Ben joined us to study history. Diagnosed with autism, he knew he might struggle to adapt to a new place and settle in. When he came here, there was already support in place to ease his transition from college to university.

One thing that really helped Ben was our peer-to-peer mentoring scheme. This is where we pair up new student with someone in their second or third year. Ben’s mentor helped him navigate around campus, showed him around the library and explained how to make the most of all our services. “A lot of people say the friends you make at university are friends for life. And I definitely did that. In each year, I gradually came out of my shell and interacted with more students.”

The University of East London felt like the sort of university that would meet my needs. Being someone with autism, it’s very difficult to adapt to new environments. When I came to the Open Day, I knew the support on offer would really help me” 61

Moving to university is a big step. And it can be even more challenging when you have autism. At our Open Day, Ben discovered how we could offer the support he needed to adjust to university, find his way around and prepare for his future.
