Oh brill well done! What were they? What subject are you gonna be studying?


37 points at IB with 6 (=A) in Bio HL, Chem HL, Geog HL, Italian Ab Inition, English SL, 5 (=B) in Maths SL and B in my extended essay and theory of knowledge essay. I'm going to do optometry. I'm so happy, I didn't think I was going to get a good grade in chemistry AT ALL.
What are you hoping to study?

Wow that's amazing! Psychology- Cardiff is my insurance though :smile:
I'm applying for the MSc in Science, Media and Communication, kind of nervous as I've applied late and am still waiting for my referees to send their references in.

But *fingers crossed* it should all be fine.

Was actually in Cardiff today, wandering around.

I really really like the garden in the middle, and the student union is pretty sweet to.

However, it felt a bit 'clinical' and 'cold' for me, I suppose grey buildings against a grey sky didn't help either. :frown:

I really want to like it though because the law building is just outside the Welsh Assembly. :sad:


It's true for just about everywhere that it looks nicer on a sunny day. I find it quite a nice place to wander when its sunny, always busy but never too crowded.

My offer didn't come through till mid April so that's most likely why I'll have to wait a bit longer. I'm guessing you got yours a fair bit earlier? I'll be studying medicine.

Congrats on Colum road! Was it your 1st choice? Really liked that accommodation actually, think it's my third choice.

Not much in particular, trying to learn to play the guitar which looks like it will take me all summer to not sound like an idiot :L. Got much planned for your short summer? :P

So found out both my referees have agreed to send in references, one I think already has and the other should do soon.

I hate waiting to hear! Especially as I have no idea if they even have any spaces left on the course. But hopefully should hear in the next couple of weeks.

Firmed Journalism, Media and Cultural studies back in February... :biggrin:
May I just ask...what date should we get there for? and what is Welcome Week?

As I know freshers begins officially on the 25th/26th, but on the Cardiff student union homepage it says 'Welcome Week' runs from the 19th - 25th, and then comes freshers?? :confused:
