don't actually fancy it that much, well it's ok. whats the town like???? not been yet but looks like im going down one weekend soooooon!!

Former Member

well, Bristol is like most cities really - it has nice parts and crap parts. UWE is out near the MoD somewhere if memory serves, no, tell a lie, its near Hewlett Packard, by the M32. well anyway, its out of town, which means using the Bristol bus system, which will cost you a fourtune, as there is a monopoly on buses in Bristol. nice student areas = Clifton & Redland (tho they tend 2 b for the other uni). my friend at UWE lives in Fishponds, which is a bit scummy, but not too bad. areas to avoid at all cost (as in walking in them - EVER) = St Pauls, also Montpelier, Withywood, Knowle. Broadmead, the main shopping area in the centre, is fucked up basically. i hate it, and try to never go there. however, Castle Park, Cannons Marsh and the new redeveloped Harbourside areas (near Broadmead) are all really really nice if you ask me - some good clubs/bars n all. also Park St, College Green around there is gorgeous. to sum up: most of the central areas are quite nice, but they are surrounded by swathes of crap, which you'll probably have to live in <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif"&gt;

Does anyone else feel they have to get out of their home city? I kinda feel that if I go to uni here then I'll have to live at home, and doing that's just gonna ruin the experience, in my opinion, no offence to anyone doing it like!</STRONG>

Yes absolutly! I'm fed up with Derby. Its just too small. Went to visit Northumbria Uni at Newcastle and the city is bigger to what i'm used to.

Just got an offer from the University of Salford. I need 5 merits from my final year subject modules in my National Diploma in Computing to do Multimedia Technology.

I'm happy as this is one of the universities i want to go to.

Three more offers to come......

Girl-From-Mars

*digging up old posts*

I have an offer for Cardiff, the uni I have wanted to go to for about 2 years <IMG alt="image" SRC="smile.gif" border="0"> Need to get an A in A level Psychology.

Swansea I need to get a B for.... still waiting on Exeter and Reading, but will undoubtedly be Bs, looking at their entry requirements.

Both to study degree in Psychology... actually I'm waiting to hear from Cardiff about Applied Psychology.... probably didn't need to apply for it separately, but I didn't exactly have anything to lose. Cardiff is my first choice, and has high grade requirements, and the only others i wanted to go to had the same requirements as Cardiff... the other 3 are just for insurance choices.

I already have ACD from last year btw, it's not just going on one grade <IMG alt="image" SRC="smile.gif" border="0">

Former Member

I have Leeds, UMIST, Notts Trent and Leicester. Leeds and UMIST are my top 2. What does anybody think of those? An insiders view would be good, or somebody who knows of anything particulary good or bad.

I dont know much about the other 2 - Trent and Leicester. Does anybody go there/want to go there or has been put off by them?

Cheers

Former Member

Well i can help you out there!!!! I've got in to UMIST and Leeds too, what are you doing??? They're for Management for me!
As for Leicester, thats where im from and my college is actually connected with Leicester Uni-i go there loads. Umm well it's ok i guess, im not too sure what you want to know but let me know if you want any first hand info because ive lived here 18ish years and im near the city too so i know it toooo well!!!!
