I just got an offer from Cardiff! And it's totally achieveable, and Cardiff are my second choice, and WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! :hyper:
So I reckon there's a 99% chance I'll be off to Uni even if I don't get any other offers! I'm so excited!

I got two offers today aswell from Kent and Manchester for Social Anthropology. I have to get BCC and BBB respectively.
Well done. I loved getting my offers. Made me feel wanted. tho cant actually remember who my first offer was actually from...
And it's early days too, so you're doing well.
This time last year I was getting offers and I was soooo excited...
mm Cardiff...
If you want any info on the place just ask. What course ya applied for?

Manchester's the place to be . I've a couple of mates there and they love it. All the gigs you can handle too, practically on your doorstep. Me being at Lancaster, I've been down to Manc quite a few times to see bands.
Yeh Manchester is certainly the best place out of my choices for entertainment I think. But I really like Edinburgh and they offer a really good Anthropolgy course so I'll have to see if they offer me a place.
I'm thinking of doing a post grad course at Central Lancashire though, is Preston good for gigs and so on?
Postgrad?! Shit, you're thinking well ahead! No, Preston isn't too good for bands I don't think but it's closer to Manchester and Liverpool than I am so you've got those options. There's quite a good indie club there too called The Warehouse, which I went to when I was in my first year. Good luck man.
Manchester is great.
Preston isn't too bad for nights out. As for gigs nah not get too many but there's some decent bands that go. Depends what sort of music ya into....the SU there is decent.
There's an orchestra???
I dont know anyone doing Archaeology, what grades do you need? Cardiff uni seem to offer low grades for the type of university they are, and if they like you at the interview thay dont even mind if you fall short a little bit.

Offers are fun, to a point... I remember getting Manchester within 2 weeks, but I had to wait 6 and a half months for Leeds. And rejections are depressing.
Oh, and if you're invited to a departmental open day, rather than a general uni one, they are very useful...
I'm a Mancunian (-ish) studying in Edinburgh, how lucky am I?
Both cities are fab in different ways by the way.
Edinburgh is looking particularly lovely at the moment!
yere i never went to any general open days, and the cource specific ones were v.uselfull.

Just avoid the odd gunmen or carbomb, and you'll be fine...
no way man! Edinburgh is way cooler than Salford (what would you want to go to a place where you could get shot for ) seriously though, my ex is at salford, so i used to spend quite a bit of time there, and i can say in all honesty that edinburgh is far far better!!
:yes: Don't go Salford go one of the manc city center uni's if ya coming here. I'd hate living out in Salford....have to visit the place often enough to see my fella as it is. Although Edinburgh is cold...even worse than here
I got another offer! Bristol want BBC, which is kinda cool. Should be achieveable.
Wow, two offers and I still haven't had an interview. Go me for choosing an unpopular subject!
That, Leeds; Derby; Huddersfield-maybe-; orrrrrrrrr..Kingston. Kingston looks smashing, though..but it's SOOO far. I want somewhere not too far from Scotland.
I SO wanted to be an archaeologist when I was younger. I think it was Jurassic Park and shit.
Good on ya girl. :thumb:
is there nothing you could do in scotland?? no courses appeal to you here??
Strathclyde uni is the only one in Scotland. But they major in Journalism, I want Creative Writing. There's like 20 places there, and there's around 30 people in my class
Got an offer from Birmingham, also BBC.
Castle Irwell student village?
*shudders* :nervous:
You're right, Edinburgh is very cold just now - but it's all looking very pretty
the best creative writing course in the UK is at Leeds. tbh.
Just had an unconditional offer (did A-levels last summer, taking a gap year but didn't defer entry) to do Law at University of Sheffield. Chamooooooone :-)
Palaeontology is cool (and to be pedantic a part of geology...)
Its a year since i had my interview for the Uni im now attending. Where has that year gone?
