Exploring law conference

I managed to get a place on the Cambridge Exploring law conference. It's a residential so I would miss 4 days of school but this could be really good for my application. I'm worried because I can't find any reviews of the experience.
Could anyone give me advice? Should I go or not?

Hi, I have also received email about being accepted. But the dates mentioned in the email for payment are in February, while the email is received on 7th Mar. Has anyone received a similar email with such dates?

In the email it told me that 7th of March is the deadline for accepting your place at the conference, whilst the residential would be from the 25th to 28th of March. This should be your Easter School Holiday week (as it is for most schools).

It's weirdly not during my Easter holiday week, I think that may be due to my county's holidays being different from the rest of the country sometimes.

Oh that's super weird!! When is your holiday week then? But I'm sure your teachers would excuse your absence as this is for academic reasons, so it shouldn't affect your attendance (if you tell them ofc).

The week after! I'm sure my school will allow it anyway though.

Yeah they should! Double check with your teachers! But does that mean you're going to the law conference? 😁

I will be going, it's a good opportunity

I did the law conference last year - highly recommend

is there anything in particular to bring? no need for laptop? was the food nice?

yes, laptop and the food was great! you have a bit of free time though so can go to the shops if you don’t like it lol - you have a decent bit of freedom as you’re basically treated like a proper student (to a certain degree)

Thnx for replying
is laptop just for personal use? Not necessary to bring? There's free wii fi connection?
Is there drop off point/parking for parents to drop us off? And pick us up too

Im not sure about parking as I travelled independently by train.
You don't have to bring your laptop, but I do recommend it and most people used laptops during lectures - if you prefer to use pen and paper for lectures, thats also fine
For accommodation, you will be randomly allocated to a college (I was at St Catherines) and we all had individual rooms

When did you receive information about times and where you were staying? It's in a week and I haven't heard anything yet
