    Anyone applied to Northampton?
    also is anyone else applying there for English?

    Just wondering if anyone has had offers there yet? I have also yet to meet anyone who is applying there for english.

    Getting a tad nervous about it.

    I've changed one of my choices, from Buckingham, to do English at Northampton.

    I think the course looks really good, could be an insurance choice for me.

    I haven't heard anything back, but they only received my application two days ago.



    I recieved a condition offer this morning, subject to me getting a C in English.

    I've applied and had an offer from Northampton for Economics/Business 260 pts

    Looked around the uni during August, so I didn't see accomodation. I'll most likely look again when I get all my offers.

    Possibly, I have to decide between Northampton and Liverpool John Moors. Northampton seems to have a better English program, in my opinion.

    Is Northampton your insurance??

    Is it going to be one of your main choices? What did you think of what you did see?

    It could possibly be both my insurance and firm lol. I applied there twice for different english subjects. It'll most certainly be my firm though.

    Have you been to see the uni?

    I really like the town and areas around it, plus I have a few friends there and the english course seems interesting.

    I haven't been to see the uni yet, hoping to go in the new year, the town its self is nice though, it has everything you need.

    Yeah, it was nice. The actual campus (park) was really nice but it was limited in my opinion because I wasn't able to look at accomodation. Also, all my taster sessions weren't in lecture theatres but in rooms for group study, which is nice in a way.

    I'd say it's a mid choice. I've got to see how I do on January modules before making a decision.
