From securing kosher accommodation on campus to dealing with anti-Israel demonstrations, a student's transition from school to university can spark apprehension and worry - not least for their parents.
But more than 130 sixth- form pupils and their parents had their concerns eased on Tuesday at the UJIA and UJS annual university information evening.
The event, held at JW3 in north London, brought together a panel of leading communal figures who specialise in student life, made up of UJS president Hannah Brady; UJS finance and operations director Lindsay Davidson; director of operations at University Jewish Chaplaincy Suzy Richman; and CST public affairs officer Jonny Newton. UJIA's Anthony Ashworth-Steen acted as chair.
The panel answered questions from the floor, covering topics such as encouraging student activism on campus, ensuring students' security, and navigating through the frenzy of freshers week.
