We had to take our bags with us to breakfast as we weren’t allowed to come back to the room so we had to make sure to pack everything and not forget anything.

After breakfast we went to the campus. Our first session was on Criminology and it was really interesting. We didn’t enjoy the second session as much because it was more about history than graffiti. We were really looking forward to lunch and having one last Starbucks before we left.

The best bit about the day was getting certificates in the reflection. One of our students even won an extra award for The Most Improved Student! The least favourite thing about today was saying goodbye to friends.

Summer school made us think more about university though and we had fun.
