Southampton University Open Day

On Sunday the 10th September I went to Southampton University's open day with my mum and sister. They had free shuttles from West Quay to Highfield campus which was really helpful (and also very very busy and full!) We arrived at roughly 10am and visited the information fair first to check in. I spoke to the Health Sciences (nursing) stand where a really kind 3rd year student told me about - the course in an honest way- how the placements can be really intense 12 hour shifts and long terms compared to others (3 week summer). BUT also how rewarding it is, and about NHS professionals. My sister spoke to the psychology stand and also visited the talk, while I went to the EPQ talk. The talk was good, however I think it was designed for those thinking of starting the EPQ rather than those (me) who have almost finished! However they only offer an alternative offer if you achieve an A or above.

I even downloaded the Southampton app which allowed me to plan my day and events to go see, which I found to be really useful and helped my time management. The campus is beautiful, with a stream and garden. I also got to peek at the yellow dance studio, which I would love to dance in as part of one of the many many societies they have to offer! They also gave out free cupcakes and a lot of information packs! I didn't look at the library as I had seen it on my research trip, which I wrote about on my other blog. Overall I love the university, as of now it's my first choice!
