Today I took K to look round the Bognor Campus of Chichester University. It's a couple of years early (she's planning to do 3 years at college) but she wanted a look to see if it really was for her. Bognor is a small campus, focusing mainly on Business and Education courses. There are only 3 halls of residence and it really is a very small site.
Anyway she thinks it's lovely. The rooms in the halls are bigger than hers. There are no big lecture halls; lessons are given in classrooms similar to those used in schools and colleges. She also likes the idea that it is less than a mile's walk to the beach. And the strangest thing of all, according to her, is how far it is to the horizon at sea when there's no Isle of Wight in the way. She couldn't get over it. It was very warm so we sat on the sea wall, eating ice cream, as the sun came out.
K reckons she gets the same positive vibes about Bognor Campus as she did when she looked round St Vincent (where she is now at college) - warm, inviting, friendly, welcoming, etc.
So look out all the other universities, you've got your work cut out to convince her to come to you.
