However, as soon as I met my tutor and tutor group and had the tour I relaxed, had a great day and was looking forward to starting in September” “I didn’t know what to expect on Induction Day. Although when I got there it went so fast and everyone was very friendly as they were in the same situation as me. I loved the afternoon activities and making the time capsule!”
