"At INTO Exeter, I could access everything that the students at the University could, all while getting the one-to-one attention that you get at INTO. I had the things that most university students struggle with clarified for me, such as referencing and plagiarism, which I wouldn't have elsewhere. It was the best way to start my university experience."
