Learn with US Year 10 Residential | University of Southampton

Tuesday 11 July – Thursday 13 July 2023

What is the Learn with US Residential?

The Learn with US Residential is a three-day, two-night residential where you will immerse yourself in university life and experience what it’s like to study at a Russell Group University.

You’ll experience our world class facilities, stay in our halls of residence, get involved with taster sessions, and find out what student life is really like.

You will:

Have an authentic experience of university life – both academic and social.
Connect with current university students who will share their own journey to higher education and give you the opportunity to ask important questions.
Gain an insight into the wide range of study and research options available at university and gain advice on the pathways you can follow to access those opportunities.
Gain confidence working with new people in a new environment.
