Abstract
In order to avoid the gap between the post-compulsory secondary education and the University, the PATU program has been conducted at the UPV. Every freshman has a teacher as an academic advisor and a sophomore as an “older brother”. Students have evaluated the program as useful and interesting, and in addition, the ones following this action have a better academic performance during their first year.
