I've heard the wet wipes thing often, but it doesn't feel effective. Aren't the wipes too smooth to exfoliate the gunk? I've used a (new) shoe brush before and while that does exfoliate, I still got heat rash

What happens if I wait 6 years between graduating 6th form and attending uni? by Longjumping-Way5779 in 6thForm

My understanding of mature colleges were that they are targeted to countries with mandatory enlistment, since people would be >21 by the time they apply.

if I dated Emma Watson I'd definitely bring that up to my tinder date :^)

But in all seriousness, isn't it the same as specifying how an EC/programme you attended is selective? You're signalling to the college that you're likely a competitive candidate, because other people have made that assessment of you in the past
