University Applicants 2012

I need to go see Lancaster :( It would be my first choice if it wasn't SO northern. Mind you I might love it when I get up there, so I just don't know :(

I see you are applying to Leeds as well, I went to their open day! I loved the city and the campus it was perfect however the course wasn't ideal for me so I was gutted that I didn't like that aspect of it because the rest was fantastic!

Oh of course, York is an amazing place! I remember visiting it quite often when I was younger with my parents... the old buildings, York Minster and the National Railway Museum were always particular favourites of mine </geek>.. :P

oooo nice which open day were you at? I remember going to the one on a Saturday in July, and then the one a couple of weeks ago. :D I'm quite near to Leeds so I visit the city quite a bit.. I've never really thought about it being nice, haha. But yeah, I was quite surprised with how nice the university in particular was.

I haven't sent it off yet so i might change em. Predicted grades are A*AC so hopefully i'll get into these lot.

Wooo, Leeds and Newcastle! :D

I was SO close to applying to Kent and Reading but realised it was a combination with linguistics at Kent and I replaced Reading with Sussex!

I went there once when I was about 8 and once again a few weeks ago for open day! But I'm sure I'll explore those places if I get in haha.

I went to the Saturday one in July too! Although I decided to be completely crazy and get a coach there from London at 11pm at night, get there at 5am and then stay awake all day looking around Leeds and the university, was knackered when I came home that night!

I'd never been there before and just really liked it :) I really wanted to go up north somewhere, I don't like where I live much :( The university was lovely!

Haha, small world! Oh heck that must have been a long day... especially whilst sitting through the talks on Fees & Finance! :P

I haven't looked at any universities down South so I do wonder if they differ; Leeds and Newcastle have loads and loads of fields just outside the main city which may be somewhat of a factor.

I'm applying for Criminology and Sociology. I still need to decide on a insurance and I need to get my history teacher to change my predicted grade - a C is fairly ridiculous.


My choices are:

Kent (Canterbury) - ABB
Lancaster - ABB
Surrey - ABB/BBB
Cardiff - ABB

you'll love it at kent rozi, if you go there. it's so fun: just be careful with yr moneys cause it's expensiveeeeee.

kent's english department is nottttttt good haha. well, it's alright but i did an english module last year messy messy messy.

i think i'm applying again to uni this year but i don't know yet, i wanted to find a job. i don't know if a degree in drama is going to improve my chances of getting professional acting work. i don't think it will.
