You mentioned joining a Jewish community a few days ago I signed up for the Israeli organisation Standwithus. Would the Beis Din consider this relevant as it involves different religions rather than having a primary Jewish focus.Also regarding your second main point though there are 2 synagogues within my area they're quite far. It would probably take me around 45 mins to reach the Orthodox one so this may become an issue. So would it therefore be advisable to perhaps keep looking for other areas whilst I'm at university? I'm quite interested in quite esoteric forms of Judaism such as Kabbalah. In fact wearing it around my wrist seemed to give me a lot of fortune when I was doing my exams which is part of the reason I started to believe in Hashem.
This site is really informative and quite helpful as you said :)

They may take into account the fact that you want to take up the Jewish cause. They would be more interested, however, in knowing that you have Jewish friends and living IN a Jewish community. Are you female? If so, get female Jewish friends. I do suggest you start looking to moving where you can move to, that would be a Jewish community, where you could walk to shul.
Also, I understand that people would be interested in the Kabbalah but let us keep in mind that the sages who studied it were Torah scholars who had a deep level of understanding of Judaism before they even started to study the kabbalah. If one does not have a deep level of understanding of the Torah and concepts of Judaism, they may be left confused by the words of the Kabbalah. And that is how you get Hollywood type of people who think they study "kabbalah" like Madonna etc.. But actually, they really do not know the gist of it.
