I feel exactly the same way! It's daunting but I'm eager to go and experience it all.
My email says I'll be in Whitehall from the 26th of July to the 7th of August. I think they're all around the same time, or at least a few, but I think the JP Morgan residential is for banking?

I live near Liverpool! I'm excited for it now. I can't wait to find out what we will be doing whilst in London! I'm a little nervous about not knowing anyone however.

I've got the email about the MP placement, do we have to apply if we're doing the Whitehall residential or is it an optional thing? :smile:

I think it's an optional thing. It really didn't say much on the email. I applied to go for a week before the residential because that's my only free time. But i am unsure what even it is.

Apologies for the late reply! I feel the same way, especially with the amount of time we're there and around one and other. I picked up my train tickets the other day, though, which makes it feel a lot more realistic.

Anybody heard of where exactly they'll be placed?

Ohh, I haven't yet picked up my tickets! I need to get that sorted. And I haven't heard yet, hopefully it will be soon! I really want to hear about the weekend and evening activities too. It's only a month away now ☺️
