"We're going to an island...in the middle of the Thames!"

Eton owns an island!

Yes, I kid not. The whole day built up to a lovely BBQ and disco on their island which had plenty of yummy food and drink to go round and gave us a chance to relax and chat to people out of the learning mentality.

So, we concentrated hard on our lectures and tried to do work in our free time before all discussing what we would wear just before the Oxbridge academics came to answer our questions about Uni applications. So helpful getting past all the myths and getting relevant info - having expert people there who are just dedicating their time to answering anything you're unsure about. The Undergrads gave us a more...colourful view of Uni life and applications but it was refreshing to compare the institutions' take on applications to the students'.
