Mature students 2015 university applicants

Haha there's just no escaping you Luca is there!! All ready to go? x

Aye just need a few more tid bits and i'm all good ^_^ just got my store transfer confirmed today as well so i'll have a job still huzzah! how about yourself all set?

Yeah they're crazy expensive, can only manage it first year anyway with the bursary. Next year I'll be downsizing ha! I'm going to try and go to the mature thing Sunday night, at the Balloon Bar and I think it's Monday on the timetable, where there's a mature introduction and study skills thing.

Aw there seems like there's loads of people doing biology! You're lucky, I'm yet to find another civil engineer. You on fb? x

I don't blame you haha, definitely save yourself some money in second year. Yea I'm going to try and make it to the Sunday night event as well.
Really? I swear, I haven't seen hardly anyone who is doing biology yet haha. No, I'm actually not on fb any more, I deleted my account a while ago. The only social media I do use now is Instagram. x

Hi, so glad I found this group! I'm ranging from being really nervous to really excited about starting in September. Everybody on the Facebook group looks so young! As I'll be commuting from home every day I'm a bit anxious about missing out on lots of opportunities for socialising and making new friends. I'll probably be like the mum of the group, hope they don't mistake me for one of the lecturers on my first day lol! X

Rachel, how did you find the access course? I am going down a similar path my self, you never know I may see you at Notts when your a 2nd Year.
Cheers

Hi Rachel, I'm 25 and I'll also be studying at Nottingham. Have you considered going to the mature student kickstart event? Failing that, there's also a mature student society. Feel free to send me a PM

Ah that's why you haven't seen them all then, there's a fb freshers page (you're not actually missing out on much don't worry!) and there seems loads of biology, law and physcology students on there. Yeah I'm more Instagram these days too, add me if you want laurenford27. I'll let you know if it seems like many are going Sunday, from Colston St anyways x

I got a place at my second choice uni (Greenwich) studying biomedical science with a foundation year. Might not sound like a big deal to some people but I suffered a mental breakdown in March 2014, I was completely unable to work until Jan 2015 and then had to go back to full time work to pay my mortgage but my studies suffered as a result, and I only started therapy in July this year so I'm super happy and proud of myself. ^_^

Also, I started studying for (as in first time picking up a book, not revising for) one of my exams less than 12 hours before I was due to sit the paper and that included time to sleep overnight. I got an E and an overall D in the subject which sort of shocked me! I know that looks bad on paper but if I can do that with so little work (I did some work for the other paper but covered less than half of the stuff) I'm optimistic about full time study.

Hey, it was pretty intense and more work than I expected but I completed it with 45 distinctions in the end which was such a shock considering it done nothing academically since 97! If you are prepared for some hard work and tight deadlines then you will be fine I really enjoyed it to be honest, well most of it at least!

As you probably know, competition for physio places is really competitive and I would recommend you spend plenty of time making sure your personal statement is right, don't leave it till the last minute lol!

Good luck and I'll hopefully see you next year. If you need any help or advice along the way I'll be happy to answer any questions

Thank you for the reply! Any words of wisdom for the access course it's self? Looks like you smashed it! e
Everyone has told me to start now on the personal statement, so I need to get my finger out.
Thank you. I really enjoyed the open day at Notts, so I will be putting down for it.

Well here goes, I think might be the oldest for 2015 mature starters...lolxx



Never feel it is too late. Even though we are older, we have as much right to academic study as the school leavers.This is it, this is my time. So I am living proof, it is never too late. I am extremely nervous to be in a room full of 20 somethings,.Good luck to you all, remember this...Believe, and you will Achieve.xxxx
