Welcome to Orientation

“The best aspects for me were receiving the first-hand tips from our mentors about day-to-day things, like places to eat, their favourite study areas and their advice on assessments and classes they had already completed.”

KATE

“I had support from another student, and I didn’t feel as anxious to start uni. I knew I could count on someone if I had questions.”

TIANA

“Olivia, my mentor checked in week by week, was always there if I needed help and she was honestly the best mentor!”

ELLIE

“My mentor was very friendly and was always available if I needed help with anything. This made me feel comfortable and welcomed into the Notre Dame community.”

NORMA

“I loved receiving emails from my mentor and felt like I could ask her anything. She would always give me a helpful student perspective.”

LAURA

“It was positive having someone to talk to, to help make the transition to Uni life easier, to ask questions about the university and services offered and to help me with understanding the different student clubs and societies.”

MICHAEL

“It was comforting to see a familiar face in lectures and around campus and to have direct access to my mentor when I had questions as they came up.”

HOLLY

“There was actually someone who was able and willing to answer our questions and help us to the best of their abilities.”

JAMES

“Having someone who was doing the same course as me but a 3rd year who I could ask questions regarding Uni life and random questions I had was great! For example: which items I needed to buy for my placement and which ones she got which she thought were good.”
