Hi, I'm Lizzie....
I am 23 and will be starting at Roehampton Uni, in September- studying for a degree in Religious Studies & Theology.
I left school at 16 with 10 A grade GCSE's and to my parents despair I basically did nothing for 3 years....went to different colleges, tried different courses....and could not decide what I wanted to do.
Until I started a job in a busy call centre in bristol- great money, but absolutly no other incentives.....so 2 years down the line I got myself onto an open uni course, and contacted my old secondary school and offered myself as a voluntary teaching assistant.
After stressing over my personal statement, I applied via UCAS, and to my amazement got 5 offers.....have picked Roehampton because I want to be in London (and lots of other 'important' reasons).
I have applied to stay in halls which is my main worry- as I havent opted for mature accomodation. Has anyone else done this? Or has enyone been in this situation before?.....
Overall I am ridiculously excited, but there is worrying voice in me saying I wont make any friends.....
Good Luck to everyone!
