How to frame my 6 week uni experience positively?

I will be attending Warwick in the UK in September, but because of different starting times, I can attend National University of Singapore(NUS) for 6 weeks before going to the UK. Is there any way for me to mention this experience positively when applying for spring weeks or summer interns in the UK for IBD? Or should I leave this out all together.

Can I put it as "taking initiative in my learning" and "seizing every chance" as I chose to study instead of being on holiday, or would it been seen as opportunistic and cheating the system?

All help is appreciated!!

 

I’m thinking about the things one can do in uni that will be regarded favorable experience for recruiting.

Unless you do something meaningful such as undertake a significant role in a club or complete some meaningful project, there’s not much you can do and take ownership of.

And those things are unrealistic/impossible to realize within 6 weeks into first year undergrad.

 

I signed up for lots of activities and clubs and is going through their application process right now. Do you think I could put it as something like "taking initiative in my learning" and "seizing every chance" as I chose to study instead of being on holiday, or would it been seen as opportunistic and cheating the system?

 

Dude enjoy life before uni it wouldn’t make a difference for springs
