Cardiff University September 2012

I couldn't find a thread on this subject, but maybe I'm just stupid. That's a possibility, right there.

I've just placed Cardiff as my firm choice on UCAS (now I've just gotta achieve 3 Bs) to do Diagnostic Radiography and Imaging.

Anyone else headin' on down to Cardiff this September? I thoroughly recommend it (even though I'm from Swansea...) Not just for the uni but the bloody brilliant shopping centre/nightlife(although that's a second to Wind St.) and sporting scenes. If you are attending Cardiff, what for? Or Why not, if you aren't?

I could well be just talking to myself but I do hope I'm not alone. YAY FOR CAERDYDD. (Pleeeeeease don't leave me looking like a right saddo/loner:colondollar:)

I have an offer for English Lit and am pretty sure it'll be my firm :biggrin: Really looking forward to it assuming I get my 2 A's & Welsh Bacc :3
I'm hoping not to move too far from home for personal reasons, but I also want to know I'm getting a good education with a good reputation so Cardiff made sense!

No sorry mine was for Computer Science. The visit day was a tour of the campus and SU with an informal interview at the end outlining what the offer would be if you received one. Good luck!

I applied to Cardiff for Biology with a preliminary year shortly before the UCAS deadline in January, and I've not heard anything yet either.
Applied for Radiotherapy but not heard back from them yet! I've heard back from all my other choices!
I'm from London btw :smile:

Im studying Exploration geology in september :biggrin:
I have a conditional offer for Biology. I went down on a visit day last week, and it actually exceeded my expectations - Cardiff was originally going to be my insurance after Sheffield, but I'm considering firming it now.

Oh yeah, I've also recently gotten scared ****less about whether I'll have anything in common with my roommates, so yeah.
