They really enjoy the day today because they got to go in the London Eye, also they also got meet different students who will be joining them as their colleagues and they go to spend time together in this wonderful park.

So Ready for Anything is specifically designed to get students basically ready to start their university journey with us at Middlesex. I would definitely recommend people come into the Ready For Anything programme because I think it's a great chance to meet new people.

It's a program that happens before you actually start uni, so you feel like a lot more comfortable, a look more prepared.
