Whats Imperial like ??

Fair enough.

Biology requirements are AAB. If you manage to get predicted AAB there's no reason why you shouldn't apply.

I stand corrected. I thought all Imperial's courses were AAA and other ridiculous requirements.

i dont study there but went there for an open day, and have been to an alumni event thing with my dad - and ive got to say it is the best uni ive seen facilities wise, and generally the best uni in my eyes ive seen.

I was just impressed with everything i saw - the reason i rejected them was cost and offer too high for my liking.

I've got another question - is it small? Because the impression I get is that it's quite small. Like how big is it?

grr about the boy:girl ratio tho

Seriously?

Could you elaborate please?

I missed the open days because I booked too late. When can I visit to have a quick tour around the departments? I've heard from my friends that it is amazing!

Lol, I firmed Imperial and sat my exams before I visited it. I loved it.

Most of Imperial's students will be on the South Kensington campus. The other campuses are for medics (the hospitals) and those biology students who wanna grow ridiculously exotic maneating plants (Wye). In terms of land area, Imperial is tiny. You could walk from one end to the other in about 5 minutes, whereas Nottingham for example is ridiculously huge. I went there for Medlink and from Cavendish to the Queens Medical Centre took years.

Ethos is the gym on site, and its really nice. Memberships free to all students, you have to pay a £15 induction fee but thats for the entire time you're at IC.

Sports fields for hockey, football and rugby are out near Heathrow at Harlington Sports Centre. Apparently the hockey pitch is exactly where the third runway will start so Imperial will potentially get a new sports ground soon.

Halls are scattered around the campus, anything from 30 seconds walk away (Beit) to 40 minutes tube journey (Picadilly Court). IF you're seriously unlucky you'll end up in an intercollegiate hall with Thames Valley uni students (Paragon) where they will look down upon you with a look on their face saying 'I go to TVU, beat that, bitch!'. I was in Pembridge for my first year, in Notting Hill. Only cost £107 a week I'd have to pay something like £300 a week+ to stay in the same street if I wasn't in halls.

I want to apply for medicine, so are the relevant areas located close to each other. I'm guessing the student accomodation is close, if not situated in the campus, right? How accessible would these areas be if I went to visit, say, next week?

I love the sound of the free gym membership and the great sports facilities! Are there any tennis or badminton courts nearby?

I thought you meant that because the majority of the candidates would be coming in with AAA, I didn't stand a chance.
