I absolutely loved every second of this experience, I really did think that Bristol lived up to it’s reputation. The day started off with a, rather delicious, sausage & egg sandwich while I was wasting some time waiting for the coach. Now I know it’s going to be hard to improve on that, but just listen up. The coach arrived, got to the department, a rather mundane introduction talk and then lunch. Then things got interesting… We had to talk to an assigned lecturer/admissions tutor about things that it put forth. There five others in my group and so I went with the “keep-talking-so-nobody-else-can-get-a-word-in-and-they-basically-have-to-let-you-in-approach" which actually seemed to work fine. To my surprise, he basically knew all of our UCAS personal statements off by heart and actually had questions for us specifically – a nice touch (if somewhat daunting).
After the interviews, it was their turn to impress us so we got shown a game that was written on the Xbox 360 by their third year students. It was no Call of Duty, but nevertheless I was impressed! I had an interesting talk on how the wiimote works also on an addition programming language (remember that while you may not find these things interesting, it is MY review!) Ended off the day with chocolate biscuits and that was about it. I am writing to you from the train now so once again, *touch wood*, I hope nothing goes wrong with them on the way home and I’ll catch you tomorrow!
