Insider tips about what future students should not miss
If you like sports, take clothes with you (e.g. football shoes).
Other comments
I think a good advice for students who want to take 1-2-1 tuitions in addition is to think about at which time on the day they want to do it. Note: 1-2-1 is the "hardest" type of tuition with the best possibility of improving yourself. So try to get 1-2-1 tuition in the morning!
