Hey Lea,

Well done, its a very exciting time applying for University.

Recently we have interviewed a current Adult Nursing student, where she basically explains her experience and feelings about the course. I thought it might be interesting for you to have a read.

To ultimately decide which is the right University for you, I would recommend to visit an open day so you can get a real feel of both Universities.

Thanks Lea and good luck deciding!

I personally prefer bolton university so far but ive still to have my interview there. The staff seem alot more attentive and you know where you'll be based before hand. Its also closer to me. I got an offer for salford but would prefr bolton tbh.

Hi @lea92,

Congratulations on your offer from Salford! What an exciting time for you!

Have you been along to one of our open days? We have also started running specific nursing open evenings which is just centered on that course? You'll also get the opportunity to meet the course tutors and ask them any questions which will help you decide whats best for you.

Visiting both universities will make the decision a lot easier as Salford has said!

One thing I would consider is where you are living at the moment and the location of your placements, this is something you could ask both universities which again could help your decision? Are you moving away from home to study or will you be commuting? As nursing placements can often be unsociable hours, a lot of students find it helpful having placements close to home.

Hope this helps and if you need any questions answering, please call us on 01204 903030 or feel free to message us on here!

Many thanks,

Leah
