Hi, have a place offered at Teeside, as grades in hand, but want to know more about the ratio of local students to students coming from other parts of the uk, as the social media seems to show most of the students featured with regional accents, I just would like reassurance that there'll be other students staying on campus, also what the area is like please?

Application to Teesside not going well so far, which is a pity after all the positive experiences in the run up to submitting the application.
Mature student applying on the basis of experience/portfolio (as the course info says they will consider, ditto 2x tutors)
Rejected on the grounds of no qualifications (despite all the fancy boxes on the UCAS form to tick to say you don't want to be considered on that basis and clarifications of that with admissions both before and after UCAS submission), no sight of portfolio (reference should explain academic situation) No email, found out on UCAS.
Enquired of admissions who confirmed rejection is just automatic, but said that you can request a reconsideration, so that request has been sent. But locked out of applicant portal.

Hi there,
Really sorry for the late reply on this one.
Have the admissions team been back in touch about your application? If you want to drop us a DM we can look into this for you?

Sort of... (no result from reconsideration as yet)
I am afraid I would now recommend any statements in course information about an individual approach to mature applicants are taken with a large pinch of salt.

I dont understand what you mean? Im not a mature applicant.
