Whilst I've got an offer from there, I know nothing about the uni, simply because I put it down to fill up space. <IMG SRC="biggrin.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
Although I've heard mixed reports, everything ranging from "It's a shithole" to "It's not too bad". Good luck with it, either way.
I've been once and I thought it was fine - not a brilliant department but a good reputation. I didnt get to see much of the area - what do you think of Leicester as a place? Have you seen much of the accommocation there? Because its my 2nd choice (but i know i wont get into my 1st!) I wont be guaranteed anywhere, but I still have to choose.
1st UMIST
2nd Leicester
What do you think and what are yours?
leicesters my first choice so hope all goes well for ya and if u dont go to umist,mite c u in sept!!!!!
Thanks for that Fraggle, now im really cant wait to go as those were the halls i was gonna choose!!!!!!
Thanx !
Thats quite wicked.
Have you actually sent off your reply yet?
Ive live in leciester for 18 years and im moving out in sept. Saying that i was at leicester uni today as it's connected to my college. Let me know if you've got an questions.
Kate x
Leicester's not brilliant but it's better than some of the scumholes ive visited. Im goign to sheffield hopefully so if anyone can let me know about that........much appeciated.
As for the halls, they are in oadby which is my area and they're all of 20 minutes away, just walk down london road and you're sorted. Ummmmmm the towns duller but where the students are around it's alright. What do you want to know???? leva a messga ehere or e-mail moi!!!!
Im hoping to reply in the next few days - what do you think about my order (have you any reason for me to swap them round:
1. UMIST
2. Leicester
With the grades im probably going to get, I doubt I will get into UMIST therefore it would go to Leicester. That means im not guaranteed accommodation with Leicester - so maybe cos I know im prob not gonna get umist's grades, u think i should put leicester 1st to get into some better accommodation?
wat u goin to study????
and kat: can u recommend ne gud clubs in leicester?
What do you think?
Sorry not being very helpful but think u gota make decision!!!
Theres fanclub for the indie ppl.....lol they all dance pogo there.
Quebec if you're into the gay scene and thennnnnnnnnn theres the bars.
I'll prob see you about town if you do decide to live here.
Lord..... i turned down UMISt because for a start the grades were higher than sheffield and sheffield was better. The building ere a bit scrubby but new inside so thats all good. It depends what subject youre doing. I'm assuming it's management or something????
If that makes any sense? <IMG SRC="confused.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
Honestly it's up to you. Leicester uni's alright and i had a quick peak at the accomodation today and it looks nice. JUst go where your heart says. if the worst comes to the worst put them in a hat and pick one out. You'll know if you want the one you pick out. If i was you i'd get the form sent back fairly quick seemign the post is slow these days.
The only thing playing on my mind is that i wont get the leeds/umist grades so that would send me to my 2ns choice - but i could put leicester (lower grades wanted) in 1st to get into better accomm. no other reason really.
I was gonna reply last week - it will hve to be next week now!
Do you live in Leicester? where are you wanting to go?
ok i will go now.
What grades for Leicester do you need??
What do you need for leeds/umist???
Ive got friends doing comp science at leciester next year so i'll ask them what they thought bout the department.
I'd be interested to hear what your friends think of it, thanks Kate. <IMG SRC="smile.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
