You know that feeling when something just clicks? That was me with the University of Birmingham. I still remember the exact moment - driving past campus with my mum, windows down, sun shining, and that first glimpse of the iconic red-brick buildings. Coming up from Wales, I had no idea what to expect… but wow, was I in for a surprise.
