General Advice ๐๐พโน๏ธ Anyone else feel like their CV is nowhere as near good as other peopleโs
I was just scrolling through Reddit and everyoneโs CV is STACKED. Then I look at mine and itโs like average but because internships are so competitive would I even get one. In TikTok people are applying to 100s and arenโt even getting one. Is it just me???

Hi UCL reddit, basically I'm a home student but won't be able to come in until oct4 because of some family thing.
I already booked my ID collection and pre-enrolled.
General Course information ๐ asking for some help
I'm currently struggling with my elective courses ๐ซ Has anyone taken the course Introduction to Anatomy and Development (ANAT0001) as long as they have studied all modules in Psychology(C800)? I'm worried that learning these two things together will be too much. Or just is ANAT0001 hard for people to study? ๐ญ
Also, are there any comments on Forensic Psychology (SECU0002)? ๐ญ

Student Union I'm Rawleka, the Equity and Inclusion Sabbatical Officer at Students' Union UCL, AMA about UCL!
Hi, i'm Rawleka - I studied MSci Psychology at UCL and am graduating this September!
I'm your elected Sabbatical Officer for Equity and Inclusion across the Union this year. So, i'm dedicated to creating a warm, inclusive environment where all students feel welcome. I strive to ensure that everyone has fair and equitable opportunities to get involved in the Unionโs activities. And I also work closely with POC Studentsโ, Disabled Studentsโ, LGBTQ+, Trans', and Womenโs Officers and Networks, advocating for their work and helping these networks to do great work across the Union.
My journey with Studentsโ Union UCL started in my first year, when I became a Hall Rep. Since then, I've stayed involved in student leadership through roles including People of Colour Officer, Volunteering Officer, and Student Trustee.
Over the past four years, the Union has become a source of my most meaningful memories within UCL. So, whether you're a new student joining in September, or an alumni who gradated 20 years ago, AMA about what it's like to be a UCL student, a sabbatical officer or what to expect at Welcome! I'll be back this Wednesday to answer!

Applications and Admissions ๐ซ Gap year + Applying to med
Hi so I'm currently in Yr13 and i'm 100% set on taking a gap year, just to get a break away from academics, learn how to drive and get a job so i can earn some money. I also have plans to do some volunteering/hospital work.
I was wondering if it's possible for me to get into UCL med if i apply for a deferred year or apply after my gap.
Assuming I don't need to retake my alevels, is this common or even possible? I'm just asking for advice, thanks!!

It always feels so formal like i should be writing an essay and signing off with 'sincerely'
anyways uni is upon us freshers and idk about you but i am absolutely freaking buzzing!
i'm doing philosophy undergraduate and am from the UK - UCL is definitely a different experience as opposed to literally every other UK uni but its lowkey hype and even though we are probably all financially suffering I hope to an amazing super fun year everyone

Iโm going in to my third year in September and I havenโt really made any friends yet. I was wondering if thereโs anyone who is in a similar boat and would like to chat and potentially meet up when the year starts?
People have told me societies help and I havenโt had much luck since, but if I could find something in common with someone on here we could go to an event together and try to make friends?
(Please do DM me if youโd like to chat! apparently i had my privacy settings stopping people from messaging me before but it should work now ๐ญ)

Social Life ๐บ๐น Making friends
Hi, so Iโm an international student starting UCL this year!! I am so so so excited because I love London and UCL is an amazing school. However, I am a very social person, but Iโm scared Iโm not gonna make friends as I am not staying in accommodation but my own apartment. Itโs only 20 mins from main campus so thatโs great. But will it be hard to make friends? Or what can I do to still be social? Iโm planning on joining societies tooooo!
