Well Hispanic studies is Spanish and Portugese...are you starting Spanish as begginers because I'm doing it post A-Level...so I don't think it is the same course as such!

yes! so exited about the placement year!! haha what course are you doing?

Heh, aww no! Ah well, I'm sure you'll be fine
Hah, you're like me then, you applied to Notts twice? I applied for English & Philosophy and straight English Studies, but pretty much had my heart set on E&P.
The course at Nottingham appealed to me from the very start though, and then after visiting I pretty much knew that it was my favourite, so I thought it was better to apply twice and give myself a wider base.



Oh really? Yeah, that was kinda what I was thinking as well. I dunno, I'm kind of intrigued by the idea of Medieval English, but that might just be because people give it such a bad press that I want to see what it's like for myself. I get the feeling I'd probably agree with them though, so Drama's probably the safer bet!
Also, the Drama lecturer at the open day made me laugh. He was so... dramatic.

Seriously though, don't let me deter you from doing Medieval!!

is it at a uni or something? that would be so cool. have you seen the campuses in china and malaysia? They look sooo nice!
Im doing management studies, and i think you can apply for a placement year somewhere if you do really well in first year. Id love to travel, and learn a language so i might try and get one, but i am soooo rubbish at learning languages haha and thats not even an exaggeration

Also, have you guys seen this?

It's from last September's Freshers Address, looks pretty cool

omg that was sooo cool! :O would we get one like that this year?

I think so, they seem to have videos of it going back to 2006, so I'd imagine they will!

Just had a look at the 2008 one as well. Pretty damn impressive.

I'm going to pick Drama as the girl I know who is doing the same course as me (she's about 2 years older than me) said she knew people who picked the Medieval English module and it was very tedious and quite boring!!

yepp it would be in like a University in Spain or I'm guessing i can choose somewhere in Latin America too? you can also work in the placement year but i'd prefer to study at a uni there!

Deffo apply for a placement year, would be awesome! haha how about going to like language classes, im sure they would do classes outside of your course? then maybe you will get better at learning them :P haha

Spain, Cuba, Mexico, Argentina, Chile are the university links. Any Q's about the course I'm a third year.

English too for anyone out there.

omg that looks incredible random stuff like this gets me really excited for September

Medieval sucks balls. Drama's an easy grade.

omg cool! how's the course going? do you learn alot of the language from the first two years?

Course is good yeah. I'm pretty lazy tbh but it's there to learn if you want to. Most of your progress is going to come on the year abroad and in the final year. It's very much about independant learning.

lol cool are you on your year abroad atm?

Yep, spent first semester in Granada and second in Valencia. Can't recommend them both enough. I'm having the best year of my life. Off to Ibiza in five days.

wow omg jealous!! have fun! what are you doing there? working or studying at a Uni?

Did Erasmus both places. From what I've seen and experienced (and speaking to my working friends) Erasmus is the best thing to do by a country mile in like 99% of cases. There's a reason post-Erasmus syndrome exists. Have you been accepted already?
