A brief introduction
Hello, my name is Olaiya Adeniji, and I am a recent graduate from University College London (UCL), where I studied History, Politics and Economics. Originally from Nigeria, I have grown up across Lagos, London and Washington DC. Before moving to the Staes and the UK, I attended Lagos Preparatory School (LPS). In the UK, I attended Epsom College from Year 9 – Year 13. In my free time, I am a passionate Manchester United fan and enjoy watching matches with my friends. I also like to DJ, watch movies and read. I am excited to offer guidance to students embarking on their educational journeys, sharing actionable advice to ensure a seamless transition into their next chapter. Let’s connect and make your path easier and more exciting.
What was the biggest challenge you faced adapting to boarding school?: I guess I’d say the biggest challenge for me when I first attended boarding school during Year 8 was the culture differences and adapting to a whole new system. Additionally, I missed home a lot, as I hadn’t been away from my family for long periods before that. It was a difficult transition.
