Re: Occupational Therapy at UWE 2012Hi All
I too have firmly accepted an offer from UWE for OT in september
Sorry it has taken me so long to join this forum...have a seriously hectic life at the moment!!
Gutted that I missed the open day and the chance to meet up with some of you!! Was in work that day
I was wondering if anybody is going to the welcome afternoon today?
Can't wait to meet you all (should add that I am 33 so another 'mature' student!!)

Re: Occupational Therapy at UWE 2012I don't think we will hear anything until everyone has accepted a place, then they will send out the crb and health checks, I don't think that will be until at least mid may! Have a lovely time in nyc, my eldest and I were just chatting about how much we miss martins potato rolls and cinabons!(Original post by debsnm)

Re: Occupational Therapy at UWE 2012Hi footsteps
I thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon...particularly the campus tour. I don't know why but I feel a really good vibe when i'm there!!
I'm living in Newport at the moment, but will be living in Caldicot as from September and commuting across! What about you?
You're right we should definitely all meet up before we start...it will make the first day far less scary!!!
Counting down now got 59 shifts left in work

Re: Occupational Therapy at UWE 2012Thanks, hard to tell how it went, I will know in a week, I gather thats the last of the interviewing. Hard to tell where I would choose without knowing what other offers I may get....I should be clear by next week.(Original post by footsteps)
Best of luck for today! Hope it goes/went well! -

Re: Occupational Therapy at UWE 2012had the dreaded changes to track email, so I logged in to find I'd blown it, then phoned round the others to chase up, to find out an offer has been made from Brookes, so over the moon now
Good luck peeps!! Roll on 3 years time when we all meet up at interviews while chasing the same job

Re: Occupational Therapy at UWE 2012Hello and welcome back to rainy England. Sounds like you had a great time. Happy to meet up in August if we can arrange it. On the final stretch of my Access Course so there is light at the end of the tunnel. I'll be glad to see the back of it and get my life back over the summer!(Original post by Citrus queen)

Re: Occupational Therapy at UWE 2012Hey Guys nice to see this page up and there are quite a few lovers of the pub quiz! Gives me great hope for the upcoming year!
I got offered places at Plymouth and UWE, Uwe being my first choice.
Im guessing I'm one of the young 'uns then as I'm 20 and a young looking 20 too!
Glad of the age differences though, as [I]'m looking forward to a more diverse group! Plymouth seemed to be mainly school leavers, so it's nice to have a mixture!
Was worried as sent of BQ after date and was ****ting myself, but they still accepted me and without interview, less stress thank god!
Would be lovely to arrange a small get together with course members in the forseen future.
If anyone has questions about bristol, dont be afraid to ask, I live in Downend, for people that dont know its directly next o Fishponds, so a lovely local uni for me.
Looking forward to seeing you all in september

Glad you had a great time, its amazing how fast you can get used to needles etc when you have too, but why haven't you accepted your place yet, are you still thinking of other places?(Original post by Citrus queen)

Re: Occupational Therapy at UWE 2012I'm not far from there - just off Westbourne road. Less than 3 miles from UWE so should be ok cycling!(Original post by tespokes)
Yeh good thinking it'll take 15mins tops to cycle in.
I'm going to live away my first year anyway, just to get the whole social side.
Where abouts in Downend do you live?
I'm by the Willy Wicket pub -
