Out of interest, why is the course so good? I didn't really do masses of research on the course and just applied there because I didn't know what else to put so I would be interested to hear your opinion on it.

See I mainly love the university, and the location of the campus. Also the course covers a wide range of topics and so give you a good base for like a future political career. Also I really want to work for maybe like Defence LOL so they have special links with them and stuff woo! Doubt i'll get in its super competitive!

That's good to know, I have an offer but I'm really into political philosophy at the moment and the course doesn't seem to have any focus on that really. Do you have a link to a list of topics or something because I'm finding it difficult to find out about it.

Ah ha, just found the specification. Quite like the idea of learning Arabic! Yeah I do, but its my 5th choice as I'm not massively keen to live in London as a student.

What's your first choice?Ah, that makes the difference. I'm from rural Lincolnshire so it would be a baptism of fire for me!
My first choice is Cambridge, though my more realistic second choice is Durham.
