My nerves got the better of me, and I felt convinced that I hadn’t been successful at interview, but a week later my conditional offer arrived! I had to complete a series of checks, including medical history and DBS checks (everything you’d hope your own nurse would have!) and suddenly it was induction week!

Finding Accommodation in Plymouth was not the hardest thing on earth for me. This is mainly because there are so many options available catering to different student needs.
