Original post by peri93

heya im a first year at dmu studying pharmacy. congrats on ur offer :smile:

If u have any questions on anything (probably not course related tho..) feel free to ask :smile:

. Im living at liberty park right now but theres loads of accomodation like newarke point, bede hall etc . Newarke point is probably the closest to the campus as its like a 1/2min walk to the SU.

thanks for the reply :biggrin:

yeah i think newarke point looks amazing :biggrin:

how did you ensure you got into your first choice accommodation?

I applied for business and marketing and I have a conditional now. I think DMU is gonna be my firm choice.
Not really looked into accommodation much, just hoping for internet and en-suite.

I'm looking at either Victoria Hall or Newarke Point. I've already visited Victoria Hall and it looks good, but I'm still undecided.

Speaking of accommodation, does anyone know if DMU has a policy of grouping mature students together in halls of residence? :confused:

well when i applied i didnt have to do choices. I think its because i chose liberty park which is private so i just had to apply straight to them while newarke point is university owned. Yh the rooms at newarke are pretty nice and they have proper bathrooms (ours are like airport toilets!)! :smile:

ahhh thank you! decent bathroom size is what i want hahaha bathroom does the deal for me :biggrin:

I'm not particularly bothered one way or another, to be perfectly honest. I am going to ask about the possibility of being with other mature students, but if it doesn't happen, than that's not a problem.

are you bothered about DMU being so low on the rankings?

The academic rankings or the accommodation rankings? I'm not particularly bothered by either, to be perfectly honest. It was by far the best of the five universities I applied to and the course is exactly what I'm looking to do career-wise. As for the accommodation, I'm going to visit the housing office when I'm down there next Wednesday. I'll hopefully get some solid information from that :smile:

i meant the academic rankings :smile:

and same...we have to give the 18 year old university some credit! it's not gonna be in the top 20 after just 18 years of becoming a university :biggrin:

besides the accommodation is probably the best i have seen too! and all within walking distance means savings in relation to bus fare and getting up in the morning and feeling to lazy to get up to get a bus or walking for ageeees! :biggrin:

lol
ohh are you :smile:

any useful info would you share please :biggrin:

I'll do that for sure :smile:

so far only got offers from dmu, lincoln and hertford.
DMU is gonna be firm I think and if I get an offer from brighton that'll be my insurance.

Is dmu gonna be your firm? are your courses business & management at all your choices? Mine are all business(management) and marketing :biggrin:

Yeah erasmus does look really good, I wish I had looked into it more when I went to the open day. I have an informal interview soon so I'll ask about it then, although I dunno what will be better, having a placement year or during the erasmus scheme.
yeh I guess we will be in the same lectures, I wish it was august now :frown:
