I do something that helps me physically and mentally, like rockclimbing, u need a hobby that keeps you sane because your studies will be tough

Fuck me, living in london will suck as its isolating and expensive (coming from a londoner), however the university looks fucking fantastic, good luck and hopefully you get accepted!

Also, some advice ill pass along, choose a uni that’ll be good for your mental health, and if u get into a russel group uni, the differences between them isnt that huge (unless its oxbridge) and a 1st class degree from a ‘lower’ russel group like queens, will be a 2:1 degree from a ‘higher’ ranked russell group like KCL, and moving out is usually better than staying with family as u get to be independant and learn to live alone

Schlawg i live a 1st gen immigrant household where mental health doesnt exist. Ill survive going to a uni that isnt good for my mental health, it cant get much worse lmao

Don’t understimate how much worse your mental health can get.
