Student stories
Every one of these is a real student, published with their consent and their family's. We do not use stock photographs of people, and we do not invent students.
These are real students.

More than 300 others
Behind every story on this page there are hundreds we have not written up yet — students who found a course, got the accommodations they were entitled to, and stayed. We add stories here as students and families give us permission.
Many more students have gone to college with our help.
Photographs of students are published only with written consent from the student and, where appropriate, their family. Consent can be withdrawn at any time by writing to thinkcollege@manovikas.family.
