What is your name?
Lewis Gladwell
What is your degree, and where are you studying?
I鈥檓 studying Business with Marketing at Anglia Ruskin University (ARU).
What degree had you originally applied for and where?
I originally applied for Forensic Science at and deferred this for a year ARU. I took a gap year and this made me realise this course wasn鈥檛 what I wanted to do. I saw Clearing as an opportunity to change course and pursue a subject that I was passionate about.
Why did you enter Clearing?
I realised I didn鈥檛 want to do the course I originally applied for, so I went through Clearing to change the course.
What factors made you finally settle on the course you chose?
I liked that the course was business with marketing, as I had interest in marketing, but having business in there too meant I had a fallback option if I didn鈥檛 want to go down only the marketing route.
Did you attend a Clearing open day and, if so, how was it?
I attended a normal open day when I applied for my first course, but I didn鈥檛 attend a Clearing-specific open day.
Did you find a place to live easily?
There were a couple of rooms available due to spaces being released, so it worked out really easy for me.
Have you enjoyed your course and time at uni?
Yes, I have. It鈥檚 allowed me to study the subject I wanted to, meet new friends and have new experiences.
