Hi! I'll be starting in September too! (Grades permitting!!) and I'm 25 next week so older as well, glad I won't be the oldest :smile: think they tend to take more mature students on for nursing though so I doubt 26 will be the oldest. So excited to start the course and meet everybody! Is anyone going to be living in student housing? I've gone for a house.. didn't think I could deal with halls but regretting it a bit now! xx

feel a bit better about my age now phew!! thanx guys! seriously excited now! moving down south full time next week, gonna make it all seem much more real then! xxx
Has anyone been accepted into Allensbank? Would be nice to have someone on the same course living near hahah!x
Hey guys, just finished the first year.

At 26 you will not be the oldest on the course so really don't worry about that.

Also there are loads of nurses at Allensbank, mental health, adult, child all mixed together so again no need to worry :smile:

Hey guys - I've got an interview for the March intake. Any advice? I'm doing loads of research but feel so unprepared as I only got confirmation of my interview yesterday!

Don't worry too much, when I had mine they were more interested in why I wanted to do it, what qualities I thought I had. They didn't ask me very many in depth questions about Mental Health, it was mostly based on my personal statement. Relax, you'll be fine :smile:

A few days after we start. They need to confirm we've attended before they send it :smile:

Hi everyone :smile:
You'll love studying at Cardiff, I'm now a third (and final, yay!) year doing nursing there.
Trust me when I say those worrying about being the only mature students will be pleasantly surprised, it's pretty evenly split between older students, fresh out of college students and all of those in between.

I think I saw someone asking the difference between march and sept cohorts? Nothing really.. All the same.

If there's anything any one wants to know leading up to the big starting day let me know!
