I think I'll have regrets either way :frown:

If I stay at York I'll regret Leeds when it comes to placements and night life. If I go to Leeds I'll regret it when it comes to the 3rd year and I just want it to be my last and to get my own permanent career :frown:

I wish someone would decide for us!!! xx

I think i have persuaded myself to go to leeds now, but have these nagging thoughts in the back of my mind that york will be more exciting. I think i would get really bored of leeds after 4 years but ill get more experience and will hopefully be a little less hard work. I'v told myself im going to make my mind up and just do it tomorrow but i'll probably back out hah. xx

Hey what was the gloucestershire interview like? i have mine in just over 2 weeks

thanksss x

You should prepare for this interview, do some revision on ks3 maths and also look through the spellings website they give you.

Also make sure the item you take is something you are comfortable to talk about, and make sure when you talk about it you cover the three question criteria that are asked of you.

Just be yourself and make sure you get plenty of sleep the night before, as its a long day once it all gets started.

Hope this is okay? Just message me again if you want to know more :smile:

good luck xx

I think they're just a bit fussy at York, We're just too cool for them! :cool:

You liked Leeds Trinty too and couldn't decide between York and Leeds, but at least your decision has been made easier! Enjoy Leeds Trinity :smile:

Are you having an insurance choice? :smile:

Haha we are, it's their loss! :tongue:

I've put Sunderland as my insurance which is general primary teaching. They both want 280 points but Leeds specifically want 80 points from my BTECH which is a distinction, whereas Sunderland just want 280 overall so if I fluff up my nationals I can still go to Sunderland :biggrin:

Hopefully it won't come to that though!

Yeah I think I'll enjoy Leeds more than York, the city just didn't click for me I didn't like how most transport was by foot and all the roads were packed with traffic! :s-smilie:
