A prospective student enthusiastically discussing the beautiful fluorite with Dr Jon Telling, lecturer on the Earth Science degree. Tom, stage 3, is remembering how 4 years ago he was looking round the universities deciding which to attend. Note not just the rocks, but also our beautiful lichen display and our mini globe stress or juggling balls (depending on how many you manage to take away).

It’s been a really good and enjoyable couple of days talking to students. I have also been round a few universities with my sons  over the past few years (and have the cloth bags as evidence) so remember how it feels to talk to lecturers and students and to get the feel of the place. If you came to visit, thanks so much for coming, I hope you enjoyed it and it helped you choose. Do get in touch if you have further questions. helen.adamson@ncl.ac.uk
