Optometry Applicants

I can tell you now that you'll have loads of space for a printer. I've seen the rooms and they're bigger than what I had

I can't remember all these things

The admissions tutor told me they wouldn't accept re-sits. So I didn't want to waste a choice. I think he just didn't like me haha!

hey guys I will be applying for optom in 2015 but I don't have any work experience in an opticians or the like. Is it possible for me to "lie" on the PS and say I have done work experience, or do they ask for a reference?

Also it would be interesting to know if any of you have been accepted onto the course without work experience?

lol it's ok, Where would you say it's located? Apparently I heard the location on google map is wrong

It's just up close to the train station? Along Vinter Terrace/Warren Close sort of area. If I remember, Aston house is the one closest the train station, and Bragg is right beside a Co-Op. Crick is between the two of them. It's literally a 2-3 minute walk from the train station.

I need some advice. Ive been offfered accomodation at cb1 the railyard. I dont know if i should accept this or not becausr theyve given me 48 hours to do so but its a tad bit expensive...

I don't think they'll offer you anything else. if you want to pay for it, then it'll be lovely (all of CB1 is gorgeous accommodation), but if you can't afford it then obviously it's a stupid choice to live there and you should look for private acomm. instead.

Thanks for the advice
I think im going to accept it and ill just have to get a job and graft for the first year just in case theres nothing else i dont want to be too far from the campus...

It isn't too far from the campus, it's like a 15 minute bike ride or 30 minute walk from what I've heard. Once you find out your building and flat number, let me know, we might be flat mates xD

you know in Cb1 aston , bragg etc does it tell you how to use the washing machines they've provided?

No idea, but it did at Sedley.


To the other person who was asking: CB1 is like a 15 minute walk from uni, so not far at all.
