I have put down that I don't want to do Wednesday afternoon placements too, as I'm hoping that I'll get involved in some sort of sports/society thing (though not sure what yet!) and I think they often have stuff on Wednesday afternoons. I did feel abit bad, but then they did ask for our preference..

I've got butterflies too, getting a little nervous about how everything is going to change drastically in just 3 months!

I have a quick question in case anyone happens to be in the same position. My parents live in Malaysia, and I moved to England 6 years ago. On the form, there is a question about whether your parents have lived abroad, and in the 'eligibility for NHS paying 2nd,3rd,and 4th year fees' bit, it says youre not eligible if parents are living abroad. Does anyone know if this applies to someone who is classed as an independant student (I am 25)? I will call NHS Grants anyway, but just wanted to check if anyone else has the same circumstances. Am very much hoping that I am not suddenly going to be faced with an extra £10,000 for fees that I thought all GEP students had paid for them!

Thanks
