My Sutton Trust Cambridge University Summer School Experience ☀️🏫

Sorry for the delay in editing this! I had a two week holiday (including this week) and have been so tired.
My Sutton Trust experience is now ready to share and overall I loved the week! I met so many people and feel so much more confident that physics is right for me ❤️
In summary, I had lectures and problems to complete (an entire notebook full!), free time, a formal dinner, my AS results 🫣, and SO MUCH FUN!!
Honestly do send in an application! It was soooo worth it!
Leave any questions and I’ll do my best to answer them ❤️

Wow that looked like so much fun! Nice vid :)

[@ellemogridge]

I wish I could go back aha, thank you ❤️

[@sophiejenkins7779]

That looks so much fun! I'm applying this year - which college were you at and how do they allocate colleges?

[@ellemogridge]

I really recommend! I loved it :) I was at gonville and caius, colleges are allocated based on subject and time of stay, you find out which college closer to the time

[@sophiejenkins7779]

@@ellemogridge Thank you so much, that's so helpful!

[@gracieb24]

@@sophiejenkins7779 So am I! Which subject did you apply for? I applied for law. I’m quite nervous, because I don’t have a huge number of the contextual factors that they take into account…. I am crossing my fingers!

[@sophiejenkins7779]

@@gracieb24 I applied for Classics but I found it so hard to decide because I still don't know what I want to study! I don't meet a huge number of the criteria either but I think I meet at least three so I'm keeping my fingers crossed too. I hope you get in - good luck! :)

@@sophiejenkins7779omg are you going at the beginning of august??? I haven’t found anyone else online going yet!

[@Ohheybabes]

What size suitcase did you take? I’m going this summer and worried I’ll look ridiculous taking a full sized case?

[@ellemogridge]

i took a carry on size suitcase but i remember people taking big suitcases, just make sure you can carry it up lots of stairs as there are no lifts in sight lol

[@Ohheybabes]

Thanks sm! Think I’ll just take a carry on, these arms aren’t made for all that lifting 😂

[@ellemogridge]

i was on the fourth or fifth floor and the stairs were a killer 😭
