Congrats!
I am totally jealous though I need an offer from InterPol rather than law though, I really need to get my UCAS sent off.

Irelannd? cool, my mum went came over here to do nursing from Ireland.
Nice choices! I was thinking of aberdeen, but that went out of the window when I learned how far away it is.

Good luck with the rest of your choices anyway, I don't envy you making a decision on which one. I have such a Aberystwyth only mentality that I can't see me anywhere else so it's easy for me. (unless I get rejected. )

I went to the open day a few weeks ago.
Before I visited I loved the look of Aber because of I loved the look of the politics courses so it was going to be high up anyway.
I then visited and fell in love with the place too, everyone was really nice and the area is beautiful so I was really impressed. Whereas with my other choices I either don't love the area or the course, but Aber I love both!

Law at Aber is a pretty small department but from what I can see an active one: They have a ball, there is a law society, a mooting society and a debating society, here is their web page for more info: http://www.aber.ac.uk/en/law-criminology/

hardy_4_paws - Anyone can sit the exam. If I were to estimate, I'd say probably around a B+ level to stand a chance of getting a high result... but it can also depend on the level of revision you do beforehand.
