What has been your BSMS highlight so far?
Halloween. We went out to Brighton Town and it was such a fun night. Everyone dressed up which was amazing, and nights like those are so important especially at the moment with lockdown! I'm really glad I got to explore some of Brighton before everything closed again, and I can't wait for next year when there'll be loads more nights out.
What is your favourite thing about studying and living in Brighton?
Brighton has so many beautiful cafes and everywhere is really student friendly. Whenever I get bored of studying in my room or the library, I just go and do my lectures in a cafe and it's lovely.
Do you have a favourite place to visit in Brighton?
Best cafes to study in are Cafe Coho, the trading post, and Cafe Nero. Also, The Prince George does amazing vegan food (thank you to my medic parents).
What is your top tip for prospective applicants applying to study medicine?
Do not think you can't do it. If you work hard and get the grades, there's nothing stopping you. Do everything you can to make yourself look good on paper, like sports, volunteering, work experience, but at the end of the day the final decision they make is when they meet you at your interview, so be the best version of yourself, work hard and get the grades. If you do that, then nothing is stopping you.
