    Also I've been out in Plymouth a few times and it seems pretty good... Not been out too many times though!

    I know, it's a shame
    I have a place for Primary Education.
    Do you happen to know which of the halls on campus are considered the best?

    Yea do, they are so nice !! Even have dishwasher and double bed!!

    I know it not on campus but i really couldnt do the catering card!! each flat has a mix of 6 boys/girls so should be stil good and I mentioned the girl from my course and managed to get in the flat next to her. I dont know what the social side of it will be like tho...But i came to the conclusion that they really nice, I know someone already there and uni is two secs away!

    Well i am from southampton, which i initially thought was miles from plym but if you're from the midlands, southampton seems close! How come you chose plym?

    Iam not staying in the halls on campus but when i looked the ones with shared bathrooms are single sex, whereas the ensuite ones are mixed and heard the village is usually suited to international/mature students so i guess it depends what you want

    Tbf they do look really nice! I reckon if you're on campus or not you'll get to know plenty of people who live at both anyway so I reckon the social side will still be good!

    Haha yeah it is quite far! When I went to the open day the sports facilities looked really good and the course looked great! Also I fancied living down south too. My gf also doesn't live too far from Marjon so I'll be able to see her easier too!

    How about you?
    Also you got much planned for the summer before uni?

    Aha fair play! Yeah I'm joining that too!

    V definitely counts, I wanted to go to some festivals but because of work this summer I can't. I'll have to save those for next summer. I'm going ibiza with mates which should be good!
