So, many of you that have been keeping up to date with the
Clearing Diary have read about how much fun we’ve all had as part of the Clearing
2014 team. Everyone I have spoken to in the Clearing hall has agreed that
clearing has been quite the experience for us, but it is nearly time to step
back into our former roles, as lectures are starting soon!
Our Clearing team this year has been made up of a mix of
full time staff, graduates and current students – meaning we can draw on our
own experience in order to assist applicants and enquirers. From questions
about accommodation, to highlighting the perks of being on our main campuses or
studying at our partner colleges. It means we can understand the stresses of
waiting for an offer to change on UCAS, because we’ve been there.
It also means that a number of us know the ropes for when
you arrive! A lot of the current and returning students will have experienced
lots of the Freshers’ events, including the Freshers’ ball and the famous Ikea
trip – a must, if I say so myself. Many people will also have experience in
sports teams, clubs and societies, which I’ve found to be a great way to meet
people in your first couple of weeks.
The Student Life Blogs are also a great way to get to grips
with what it may be like to be a student here. There is a wealth of information
available on these; the regular bloggers (including me) do love talking about
what we do, both as part of our programmes and outside. We also have our social
media pages, both from the university and various societies. These can include
subject-based societies, such as the psychology society, so there really is
something for everyone!
So if you are holding an offer of a place with us,
congratulations. There is plenty for you to see and do in your first few weeks
here, and we look forward to seeing you soon J
