Hi Arthur, nice to meet you :smile: I know how it feels I am also coming from far away to attend but I’m sure it will be worth it! I also applied to vet med this year although was unsuccessful, it broke my heart and so I wasn’t sure if I could go through the same again next year, was I to take a gap year. My very original plan had been vet nursing but people pushed me to vet med because of my grades (I applied to both). I’m glad where I’ve ended up though. Basically, I understand where you are coming from. Anything I can help with/ questions let me know
why does everyone wanna do vet nursing (other than liking animals)

Personally, I think the bond between an animal and its owner is unmatchable. So I see being able heal/ safe/ help an animal’s life is a power like no other

For me it was the only way I could get access to the wildcats to challenge one to a fight.

People are always trying to push others to do things they dont wanna. But if you feel comfortable then go for it. I wanted to vet med but my grades lemme down so i moved to vn. But believe in yourself thats the place to start
i want to do vet nursing cause it’s not as demanding as being a vet, plus i took the wrong subjects in school to be a vet anyway. but what the vet nursing requires just interests me more anyway because i feel like there’s lots of different tasks hahah

I was a bit like this wasn’t my plan but then the more people kind of said it the more I believed I could do it and wanted to do it although I did still have a couple doubts. My grades let me down a wee bit too so I could only apply to two universities, both in England.

Not sure if you saw but I sent you a pm about a groupchat we have just now, only three of us but if you’re indecisive about SRUC you can ask us whatever I suppose but no pressure.

Did you travel up for the interview?

Aw I think it would be good to have you there though! I was worried it would all be females haha, a mix is a good thing and so what if you’re one of the few? There will be other boys there albeit not on your course.

How did you find Scotland/ the campus?

Haha it was snowing yesterday here too! I didn’t get a tour of accommodation and not sure if the boys’ is different from the girls’. You don’t have to take accommodation if you don’t want to as you can get somewhere in Dumfries or nearby to stay.

Do you think you will go to Bristol or completely unsure?

Also no didn’t get an email, what was it about?
no i haven’t had an email either, i think the boys maybe is different from the girls but i don’t know

Hi Jade, nice to meet you! Same as me then :smile: what’s your conditions? (If you don’t mind me asking) - don’t worry at all you’re not late.

If you have instagram or snapchat would you like to join our groupchat? It’s just a wee group but nice to get to know some others beforehand.
