Many students secure a place to study at 快活影院 through Clearing every year. Here are some of our students' experiences of going through the Clearing process and choosing Bangor as their place to study.
Clearing Success: Victoria D'Ambrogio
[0:00] [VISUAL DESCRIPTION] Victoria speaking sat at a table with books and artwork behind her.
[0:05] Hi, my name is Victoria. I'm in my fourth year. I'm from near Liverpool and I'm studying law with Italian.
[0:13] [VISUAL DESCRIPTION] A student sat on a wall typing on a laptop with a coffee and the sea behind them.
[0:13] I unfortunately did not get the results I was expecting on the day but everything worked out fine.
[0:21] [VISUAL DESCRIPTION] Victoria is sat on a plush yellow sofa with decorative pillows and art work behind her.
[0:21] I knew I definitely wanted to study law with Italian,
[0:24] so the first thing I did was look at other universities who study who allowed law in Italian
[0:25] [VISUAL DESCRIPTION] A student on the stand in the University Moot Court in a Court grown.
[0:31] and Bangor was one of these places.
[0:34] [VISUAL DESCRIPTION] Aerial shot of the Menai Straits and Menai Bridge.
[0:34] Going through clearing at Bangor was such a relieving experience.
[0:38] [VISUAL DESCRIPTION] A member of University staff sitting by a computer speaking on the Clearing Helpline.
[0:40] All the anxiety I had was taken away through clearing with Bangor.
[0:42] [VISUAL DESCRIPTION] A second member of University staff sitting by a computer speaking on the Clearing Helpline.
[0:47] [VISUAL DESCRIPTION] Victoria is sat on a plush yellow sofa with decorative pillows and art work behind her.
[0:47] I did speak to someone on the phone on the helpline.
[0:50] I phoned up the number on the website and it was very quick to get through to them and they were very helpful.
[0:57] [VISUAL DESCRIPTION] Three students sat on brown leather sofas, chatting at Barlow's caf茅 and Bar.
[0:57] I did not feel apprehensive coming to Bangor being a clearing student, I felt completely welcomed.
[1:02] [VISUAL DESCRIPTION] A group of students walking together outside University Accommodation.
[1:03] I felt like I deserved to be there. Everyone was so lovely and fitting in was not a problem.
[1:06] [VISUAL DESCRIPTION] A group of students sat chatting together within the University's Student Union.
[1:10] [VISUAL DESCRIPTION] Victoria is sat on a plush yellow sofa with decorative pillows and art work behind her.
[1:10] It's so nice to be in nature as opposed to in a big city, which can be very intimidating
[1:17] For your first time away from home.
[1:19] You have a very supportive community around you. The teachers are super supportive.
[1:19] [VISUAL DESCRIPTION] Three students sat on a brown leather sofa in a local caf茅 looking and laughing at a smartphone.
[1:23] You make amazing friends through the societies.
[1:25] [VISUAL DESCRIPTION] Four students sat out on the terrace near the Main University Building overlooking Bangor.
[1:28] There's so many societies to join
[1:30] so you always can make friends so easily and you always have a great time.
[1:34] [VISUAL DESCRIPTION] Victoria is sat on a plush yellow sofa with decorative pillows and art work behind her.
[1:34] I have joined quite a few societies in my time at Bangor, including dance, athletics, trampolining,
[1:38] [VISUAL DESCRIPTION] Students in a studio, dancing.
[1:41] [VISUAL DESCRIPTION] Aerial shot of Treborth athletics track, the Menai Straits and Menai Bridge.
[1:43] just a few to choose from, but there's so many more and they're all amazing.
[1:44] [VISUAL DESCRIPTION] 6 students in a gym hall with trampolines.
[1:47] [VISUAL DESCRIPTION] Victoria is sat on a plush yellow sofa with decorative pillows and art work behind her.
[1:47] Bangor was definitely the right choice for me.
[1:50] Everything happens for a reason and obviously I didn't get into my first choice of university
[1:56] but I don't regret my choice at all. I feel so happy here and I've had the best time.
[1:58] [VISUAL DESCRIPTION] A group of students sharing pizza and chatting in a local pizzeria.
[2:03] [VISUAL DESCRIPTION] Victoria is sat on a plush yellow sofa with decorative pillows and art work behind her.
[2:03] Anyone awaiting their results and worried about going through clearing should not worry at all.
[2:08] It's something completely out of your hands. You don't know what's going to happen on the day,
[2:10] but I can assure you that should you go through clearing and you call up Bangor,
[2:19] You'll feel so much at ease and so happy.
Clearing Success: Max Robinson
[0:00] [VISUAL DESCRIPTION] Clip of Max sat on a picnic bench with his phone.
[0:05] [VISUAL DESCRIPTION] Aerial shot of the Main Arts Building and surrounding buildings.
[0:06] My name is Max Robinson. I'm a second year accounting and finance student, and I come from West Yorkshire.
[0:09] [VISUAL DESCRIPTION] A student and professor in a computer room looking at a computer screen.
[0:12] [VISUAL DESCRIPTION] Max sat on a bright green sofa with art work and a shelf in the background.
[0:12] I definitely have heard about clearing, uh, before receiving my results.
[0:17] I heard people talking about it almost like it was a looming threat, but I really don't think it was that bad.
[0:23] [VISUAL DESCRIPTION] A person in a caf茅 on their laptop looking at the 快活影院 Clearing webpage.
[0:23] When I realised I didn't get the results I wanted, I immediately thought about clearing. I knew what it was, but I didn't know much else.
[0:29] [VISUAL DESCRIPTION] Max sat on a bright green sofa with art work and a shelf in the background.
[0:31] So it was very much an intense hour of googling and researching and trying to figure out what, what I could possibly be doing next.
[0:40] [VISUAL DESCRIPTION] Two students walking down the stairs in Pontio and chatting.
[0:40] When I was phoning 快活影院, the person on the other end of the phone was extremely helpful
[0:44] [VISUAL DESCRIPTION] A shot of the Main Arts Building.
[0:44] by telling me exactly what I needed to do,
[0:48] [VISUAL DESCRIPTION] A member of staff sat on the computer speaking on the Clearing Helpline.
[0:48] because I had no idea where I was going for clearing, and I didn't exactly know the process.
[0:52] [VISUAL DESCRIPTION] A member of staff sat on the computer speaking on the Clearing Helpline.
[0:52] And they managed to explain it all to me extremely quickly and help me with my course choosing as well.
[0:56] [VISUAL DESCRIPTION] A group of students in a room having a meeting, sat on tables with their laptops.
[0:56] 快活影院 stood out to me because it was
[1:01] [VISUAL DESCRIPTION] A group of students sat on the desk on the Pontio balcony with their laptops.
[1:01] very public about how inclusive it was with its students in all aspects of its education
[1:06] [VISUAL DESCRIPTION] Two students walking through the iron gates outside Main Arts, chatting.
[1:08] and compared to other places I'd been looking at, they seemed very cut off and very separated from the student population,
[1:11] [VISUAL DESCRIPTION] A student standing in the Student Union reception area, speaking to a member of the Student Union Staff.
[1:14] and it was quite refreshing to see somebody that was willing to hear the voice
[1:17] [VISUAL DESCRIPTION] Max sat on a bright green sofa with art work and a shelf in the background.
[1:18] And I was very eager to talk.
