Which Uni?

I know that this topic has been done before, but that was before the exam results and the dreaded clearing for some. Which University are you going to into September and was it your first choice?

I'm off to Northumbria and it was my first choice.

    Durham,

    Didn't really have a first choice, just put down a bunch of towns I'd heard about.

    What will you be studying?
    Are you going to live at home and commute up or will you be living there?
    Durham

    I'm going to Sheffield, after leaving Oxford last year.
    What college are you going to, cymruangel? I was at Jesus college, and it's THE welsh college. Apparently. College mag was called the Sheepshagger!!! And what subject?

    Sorry, I wasn't suggesting you were! I go there and I hate it more than anything I have ever done in my whole life. But I don't fit in at all.


    Jono_H - I am at Durham, but I was going to transfer to Northumbria xmas gone, but they wouldn't let me because the course was slightly different! Doh!

    I'm going to Leicester to study BSc Sociology. I was really really really scared to go and nearly backed out, but my best friend is going there 2 now (she went thru clearing). I feel happier about going now, but another close friend is in a grump about her coming to the same uni as me!

    Anyways, good luck startin uni everyone!

    I'll bear those in mind, cheers! :)

    Third series of Spaced wont be for a while yet, as far as I know. Its likely to be next year at the earliest. In the meantime you'll just have to make do with series 1 & 2 on video and DVD.

    i'm going to bangor university to study psychology. it's not my first choice (that was cardiff), and i went through clearing, but i'm really excited to be going there. it's a great place for my subject and the university itself seems really friendly and welcoming.

    i did my a levels last year but decided to go back to school and take a new subject/do retakes because i didn't do as well as i should have done for a few reasons. i decided that wasn't for me either, and started a distance learning course to get the grades for cardiff. somewhere along the line i decided to look into clearing, and now suddenly i'm going to bangor next month! all moved quite quickly, but i'm looking forward to it a lot.

    (and wow, thesite's changed hell of a lot since i was last here)

    eek, what's their name? it's a fairly small place, i might run into them :p

    cornwall has been very sunny lately susie, you picked a good time :)

    as for coming back/staying... i have no tiiiiime! all my time's being sucked up by LiveJournal, i'm about 2nd most active person on the support boards over there (of the technical variety!)... i don't know if i'll be getting internet access in my room at bangor yet, but since i went through clearing i'm thinking probably not. i'm having to train people quickly to take over my work at LJ, as well as do the work i usually do. all in the name of keeping a cool site running smoothly :p

    and there's only a certain amount of typing a person can do when they have RSI :/

    i got my loan entitlement form today, am very pleased at the amount! more than i was expecting, by a long way. so i'm celebrating by purchasing the new coldplay album :D

    mwahahah!

    it's only £9.99 on amazon. that's before you add VAT and postage though, bastards. erk, thought i posted how much it cost in my lj, obviously not. was £11.45 anyway. better than hmv! £13.99, £1 postage. costs more to get to the damned shop than it does for postage, so it usually works out quite well.

    :p i'm getting coldplay and you're notttttt!
