Thank you - we are just on the M6 heading up there. She had a moment this morning as it looks like she has conjunctivitis and can’t get her contact lenses in then had a total meltdown saying she can’t do the interview. She is asleep in the car now so hopefully she will wake up a bit calmer.

DD has just received an unconditional offer from Lancaster for Physics. Or AAA if she puts it as insurance. So happy for her and makes last weeks chaos trip worth it. Waiting on Oxford, St Andrews, and Durham now ...

We visited the uni 4 times before she started. It was the first university we visited in the July and she really liked it (she did not intend to go to uni, but thought she had better look and after being there for half an hour she had changed her mind). We looked at other unis and nothing matched up to to the feel of it. We went back in December to see if she still liked it and she did. Then she attended the offer day and went to a couple of seminars. We then went back for the day in the summer to look around the city.

My husband I both loved it too. I think it is the atmosphere we all like. Everything is on your doorstep and the university is located on the Brayford Quay which is really nice during the day and evening with lots of restaurants and a cinema.

Freshers week started on 16th September this year (my daughter moved in on 14th) and the proper lectures started the week after, but they need to be there for freshers as they have welcome seminars and they have to enrol.

They also make all their friends that week. It really also depends on west accommodation they are in. Most move in the weekend of freshers, but some actually move in on the 8th.

When do you get back from holiday?
Thanks for the info. I think the Disney society would greatly increase DD’s interest in Lincoln.

We get back from our holiday in the early hours of Sunday 13th September. For some reason I had mistakenly estimated Lincoln’s fresher week would start the week after. Ah well, we’ll sort something out.

DD has now had all of her offers. She got 4 conditional offers and 1 unconditional. She’s happy.

We are just on the way back home after DD’s interview at Liverpool. Things were a bit fraught as the multi-storey car park we went to was full so me and DD had to leave DH looking for a space and get out of the car and walk up to the Crypt in the cathedral where the interviews were being held. They advised getting there about 30 minutes before the interview and we got there 20 minutes before and 10 minutes before they were all called in. DD said she thinks it went ok although she ran out of time in the maths question which was multiple choice so had to do an educated guess. She said she was resigned to muck it all up so was quite calm which helped her in the end! They all hear if they have an offer or not the week before Christmas.

Thank you for the good wishes x

It sounds like she did well. I wouldn't worry about the maths question, I think dd got a bit stressed in hers last year and made a guess.
I wish I had thought to tell you about the car parking and there is a car park underneath the cathedral itself which usually has spaces. Not many people really know its there as its a bit odd for it to be under there. Got everything crossed for her. Did she go on the campus tour with the students too?

Well done to your DD Choppy Girl. Absolute gem of a car park for anyone heading g that way.
DD has had an offer from Manchester but has decided to stick with Liverpool or Leeds.

We tried the one under the cathedral first but it was full unfortunately. We tried to park in Mount Pleasant car park which is 13 floors high but was full. Luckily as DH was driving round an attendant opened up a small part that was coned off otherwise he would have had to give up and try somewhere else.

We did do the campus tour with the students - we went to an open day and saw some of it but they showed us the gym which we hadn't seen. DH had not been at all so it was good for him. Seeing the uni again just re-enforced how much me and DD liked it - all the emails go out at the same time the week before Christmas we were told.

Keeping everything crossed for her. DD said she saw some of the tours yesterday as they came into the common room when she was studying in there (Thompson Yates building). I am wondering if you were on the tour she saw?
