Going through clearing? We want to hear from you

Clearing can be an emotional rollercoaster but there's no need to feel like you're alone: talk to us! Or, even better, talk to other people going through Clearing.

If you didn’t get the grades you were hoping for, don’t worry; more than 30,000 students enter higher education through Clearing every year and the vast majority find a course they love.

Talk to each other

Check out the forums, where you can discuss your thoughts on Ucas applications, Clearing, which universities are the best and worst (both socially and academically), gap years, accommodation and a hell of a lot more.

Talk to The Independent

We always like to know what’s going on in your life here on the Student desk. What went through your mind when you saw your results, for example? Perhaps you have already found a place through Clearing, or you are having second thoughts about going to uni altogether?
