mappealed? you mean appealed?For a variety reasons.I fancy Britain,and Durham is a brilliant uni.Further,the college system is the main draw to me,I dig the atmosphere which can't be found in any other English unis except Oxbridge.Honestly,the entry requirements absolutely fit me
yes,I still live in China.I study Alevels in China and take Edexcel exams.
Anyway,pretty happy to meet british friends,(actually,I've met some really amazing Brits here ).
Well,just ask,is it proper to hit on someone that I don't know in British pubs? So many times I'm afraid to talk to them in pubs here,thinking they may regard me as a freak.:colondollar:
Hello :smile: I have put Durham as my first choice and am doing Marketing (shares the same modules as the business course in the first year) and have been allocated John Snow :biggrin:

Hey.I also put Durham as the first choice and am doing Business and Management.I intend to transfer to Marketing in the second year as Marketing is more appealing to me.Plus I've been allocated to John Snow as well!
Now for me,I have to work hard to meet the requirements(Further Maths B).Well,I think we're very likely to be college mates :smile: Nice to meet you!!!

Aha,ok.
Do you meet your requirements? I still have a B in Further Maths to get,but I think I could make it.
Err.btw,Have you watched Skins and Misfits? I am wondering do lots of british students really live like that?I mean ,drugs,sex,alcohol,you know,it looks a bit 'wild'.:rolleyes: but they still get good grades!

Hello Hello this is 2013 and I have accepted my offer for MSci chemistry and yes I am on the hunt for lovely ladies.
Still waiting to hear from the colleges but I've put my preference down for Stephenson.

Noticed most of you guys are undergrad, any postgrads around? Its so surprising that I haven't yet come across anyone whose in MSc Strategic Marketing with me.

When I applied for my accomodation at john snow I did not recieve any email confirmation? Is this normal or did i do something stupid? Have any of you recieved any form of confirmation that you have applied yet? :smile:

I have not recieved confirmation either, however when i applied it clicked straight off saying i could no longer access the page and had applied so i emailed them to ask what i had a pplied for and they said because i had already stated John Snow in my original application and have no requirments they have just assumed i was a mixed flat in john snow accom and i replied saying that was fine so i wouldn't worry about it. Just email them and double check :smile:
