Open Days and Suchlike.
Lot of stuff has happened since I last updated in any interesting way. Some of the most significant were my trips to Imperial College London and Bath University.
Imperial College London
I visited Imperial sometime in November. Imperial is every bit as shiny as it looks on the prospectus. After having a tour of Imperial, I had my interview, which, thankfully, was nice and early so I could look around London before I left. I was taking pictures outside Imperial on the street with my really massive camera, when I was approached by a friend of someone in ICRacing, in order to help in a photo shoot they were doing. Anyway, to cut a long story short, I took a lot of pictures:


I spent quite a bit of time after taking these pictures making the panoramas etc. with Damjan and MJ afterwards, preparing the photos to be used etc. I found out after adding MJ on facebook that she is in the CU, which she tells me is very geared for evangelism and also a church that I have been told is very strong on the word (independant adjudicators being my dad and Ben Epps). I shouldn’t have to say this, but enough people have asked, so… I don’t intend to marry MJ. I hope that’s established now. The point is that I’ve found out about the CU and a good church.
Bath University
Both my parents went to Bath University, and my dad studied the same course I have applied to. Bath, like London, is the home of several good churches. The one I have been recommended most is Widcombe Baptist. A strong, Bible believing church, and, if I’m not mistaken, the one my dad went to. Anyway, on to the pictures:
I also have pictures of Cambridge, but we’ve spent quite a while already, and they didn’t give me an offer, so we’ll move on.
In my opinion, university is worth thinking about just for the open days. With the exception of Manchester, I had a most excellent time at every university I visited. I can’t help it, but most of the decision I made was based, rather than on raw fact, on the fact that I simply liked some places more than others. So what decision did I make?
- Firm Choice: Imperial College London
- Insurance Choice: Loughborough University
I think that’s all I have to say for now, except that tomorrow I’ve decided to have a birthday, and I’m very much looking forward to it.
