UNIVERSITY students went back to school for a day to encourage teenagers into higher education.
Wolsingham School and Community College ran an Aiming for a College Education (ACE) day for Year Eight pupils.
Students from Sunderland, Teesside and Northumbria universities talked about different aspects of their education and lives away from home.
A school spokesman said: "The objective of the day is to raise awareness of higher education and help students think realistically about the accessibility of higher education as well as raising their own restoration. The response from students was enthusiastic and positive."
One student said: "I thought university wasn't for me but now I'm thinking about going. I would like to get a good job, expand my mind and it will be an excellent opportunity to get better qualifications."
