Oh, and I went to Milwaukee, Wisconsin in the USA for a five-week placement at the end of the second year. About five of us went to different parts of the States, visiting specialist centres. I have remained living at home throughout the course. There have been benefits - it's a lot cheaper, and I still go out with old Bradford friends. Of course, there are also disadvantages, as those of us living at home couldn't always mix with those living in Hall.
Social life is important.
You do have to make time for it, as there is a danger you could get sucked into physiotherapy morning, noon and night. But if you can get the balance right, then perhaps you'll have as good a time as I have had.
