University visit

piggy1401

Hello,

I have applied for a summer programme at the university that i really like. this means i have a welcome day (tomorrow), 2 taster lectures and a 2 day residential. which all sounds very exciting and scary.

i emailed and asked for an itinerary for tomorrow however i have had no reply. i really don't want my autism to stop me from doing this as I think it's really going to help me make the decision. however, i know absolutely no one going. i know nothing about what's going to happen. i have been there once so don't know where anything is. and am slightly worried i am going to spend all day looking like a loner. 

i just need someone to be super positive and tell me it's going to be great. however honest advice would also be helpful

thanks,

Alisha xx

  • I did this when I was in year 12 or 13 (which was a really long time ago now!!) It was very informative, I think there was a talk for parents at the drop off time and we weren’t given the itinerary in til then. The lecturers were in the same place as well so it was easy to find.  It was also a massive eye opener to uni life in general. After spending so many years under the microscope at school it was a shock to be completely unsupervised at first! I was given a room in the halls of residence, I got woken up by the cleaning lady 2hrs after I was supposed to have left on the last morning because I overslept. True uni experience!
