    What should i wear ? I thinking of wearing slacks and shirt.
    Sould i bring a folder with cv and references ? I diidn't add a cv to my application.
    Will i mention i am eligible for btea ? I just don't want it to come across i was siting on my ass the last while cause last year was first time i claimed the dole and i'm nearly 26.
    What things should i say to let them know i can afford to go back to college?
    When they ask about the workload what are good answers?

    I've been going over my application and have some experience in this industry before i got into contruction, so i'm going to mention alot of that. The letter says i get the chance to meet staff and discuss options available to you in your chosen field so seems pretty laid back.

    Also i haven't been in contact with the mature student head or gone to the open days will this go against me as i girlfriend is in the same college i might just say i know alot about it already. Well thanks for any info in advance.

    Clothes: Smart casual.

    1) Make a humourous, subject-related observation when you go in.
    2) Smile the entire time.
    3) About the degree, mention what it is you'd like to do when you graduate. Maybe tell them that you're interested in publishing in a certain field. ''I'm really interested in BLAH, I think there's a lot of room for research into X aspect of it''.
    4) Mention a specific point of the program that you think is interesting. ''And I see that X is a subject, where exactly does it begin and end? How deep does it go? Does it cover blah?'' (and now you're asking the questions :))

    Interviews are fine. You'll be great :)

    Thanks for the advice not sure how it went four interviewers made it a bit of a shock but think two liked me and one didn't but hard to know, they wouldn't say how many places there were other than they limited. Well they said i should know in two weeks at least it doesn't drag on thank anyway.
