Lucky!

I think I'll manage :P I'm quite quiet anyway, so it feels like the equivalent of someone shoving me into a freezing cold pool, but I'm so excited to go!

I'm also doing it :cool:

It's a shame though, I chose to do medicine or biology (can't remember which) and I got accepted for medical physiology, which is still alright but not what I wanted.

No, but I am used to talking to strangers in awkward situations... I've done the NCS thing last summer, had to dress up as a women wearing a skirt, blouse and high heels and had to walk around the whole city centre... I've gained enough confidence to talk to people through that walk of shame :cool:

Hey, so glad someone made this thread! I accidentally commented on the Sutton Trust one before, *sigh* anyhow, I'm also doing the Nottingham Potential Summer School this year too :biggrin:

! I'm so excited for the experience and to meet new people, although I'm a little anxious about social interactions, I think we'll all be fine making new friends! Anyone else doing Psychology and Philosophy in the first week :smile:

Oh right! Ah, so you must know your way around then right :P? And I assume University of Nottingham is your first choice? I'm arriving by train, which will be amusing because I've never been on one alone before and I fear I'll miss the coach at the station XD! Aye, it'll be an adventure! How about you? :smile:
