S6. Ep 5. Refreshers on Freshers

Switchboard

Here with a *fresh* new episode, Amber and Eliza take us back to March 2020 when Y13s across the country had their A Level exams cancelled by lockdown. Current offer holders might be able to empathise and older years will certainly be curious. We heard a range of experiences from current Cambridge freshers of what it was like to start uni with Covid restrictions in place. Overall, we were surprised to hear that the freshers had such a positive experience. It all came down to their mindset. They found creative ways to adapt (through creative online formats such as the Cambridge Freshers Instagram Page) and ways to accept a new reality (household bonding and the rule of 6). So, regardless of what year you're in, its certainly worth hearing the Fresher's wisdom.

Thanks to Thalia, Ella, Ellenoor, Kate, Elliot, Ollie and Avesta.

To round up this week's show is 'Marxist Tendencies' by Running Standards.
