Congrats. Word of advice? Dose up on Vitamin C and other vitamins for the first few weeks, make your immune system nice and strong to avoid all the new germs you get. A bit square, true, but trust me when i say that getting Freshers Flu in the Freshers Week is the worst thing that can happen. You miss out on so much if you're tucked up in bed with soup.
Know what I mean?

Is it not conditional? If so, what do you need? Well done all the same- I got accepted for all my offers, but I've got my heart set on Reading. If I don't get the grades I might just cry!

I remember I applied to three unis and then rejected two, even though one was unconditional, purely because I liked the look of Lancaster so much. Loved my time there and almost went back to live there afterward. Spent ages worrying I may not get a good enough English grade since, at GCSE, I'd been in bottom sets (stupid teachers, wouldn't move me even after they realised the mistake) and had had to fight to be allowed to study English Lit at all.
But then, hey, what do you know - I didn't drop a single mark on the course. Booyah, etc.

The closest we have to Freshers week is the Analogue Camp, which is one weekend camping in the woods with NO electronics aloud. Its for all engineering students to get back to the "roots"

Congrats! Remember don't forget to work your nuts off - they'll probably only be offering jobs to 20% of graduates. From experience, its easier to get good grades by starting in the first year rather than the last....
