    Hi, I've firmed an unconditional offer. Won't be living in college as I'm a mature student. Going to be member of John Snow college. So nervous but excited all at once. Nervous about being the oldest on the course lol
    Hi, I'm a mature student too so you probably won't be the oldest ;-)

    Yes - I live in Hartlepool so it's not too far. Have you sorted your timetable? I'm just trying to sort childcare for my 9yo at the minute :rolleyes:

    Do you live nearby?

    I live in Redcar so maybe a similar distance as you from the uni. I have a 4 and 6 year old. Think I have childcare sorted tho. Are you looking forward to it? I am really excited to start now . How old are you if you don't mind me asking (just say if you do lol) I'm 31

    I'm from Hartlepool too, although I'm only in college.

    Who here has got an email about a HASE ( home area school experience) Diary, to complete ?
    Its like a diary about all your experiences over a 2 week period.
