    Where is the "regular" thread for Durham applicants sorry? I think this is a good way to get to know each other in advance a bit!

    I've been accepted, but I listed both English and Anthropology, and my acceptance letter didn't state which one :rolleyes:

    I got in for Durham I'm not too sure whether it was for English or History as I listed two and my letter did not specify. Regardless, I am incredibly excited despite the long journey there.

    I suppose bad teachers could explain it. I am blessed with my teachers. Apart from Maths. That guy is beyond terrible.

    No idea. Something not too elaborate, I don't want to be 'epically Gaga'.

    Anyone travelling from Birmingham area?!
