Haha similar mistake. I went strait to Leeds uni after I finished my A levels but ended up on the wrong course. After now working for a year it is definitely time to get a degree under my belt :smile:

How is it at Northumbria city/accommodation good?

oh right haha! yeah same!

The city is awesome, I'd say its similar to Leeds. The accommodation is pretty good depending on where you apply, Im at a really nice brand new 1 called New bridge street with a double bed en suite which is ideal!

Sounds good to me Leeds city was great. I have picked ensuite as my first choice so fingers crossed I get something as nice as that.

What made you choose media production then ?

Do you have a part time job up there? (lol up there makes me sound like I live miles away Newcastle is only an hour away on the train) ... Does it seem easy to find part time work?

yeah hopefully :smile:

Well I love films and I've always wanted to be a part of them in someway preferably an editor or an animator so I had a look and the Media production course provides me with a lot of the sort of stuff I would like to peruse as a career :smile:

I used to work at tucci for 2 years, its a mens clothing shop however I started University and decided to see what it would be like without a job and luckily for me It was the same as the loan and bursary I got was quite high... but yeah I's say you would have a good chance of finding a part time job definitely :smile:

I sat in on the talk for that course it did sound good the lecturer seemed really cool. (beard)
Sounds like everything is finally fitting into place.

Hmmm wish I had the luxury of a high bursary think I will only be left with like £20 a week after accommodation costs come out of my maintenance loan. Liveable but not comfortable.

Will find something part time I'm sure. :smile:
