    This thread was a great idea

    Probably going to firm Leicester, loved the department there and everyone seemed really down to earth and friendly. So excited

    Geology 2011! Going to have (another) look at the accomodation to see if I can actually make my mind up

    I'm definitely firming Leicester! I absolutely loved it and was so happy when I got my offer
    I've applied for Psychology with Sociology
    Ahhh I've got my offer for this course too but I'm stuck on whether to firm it or not! I'm stuck between Leicester and Reading! Have you been to the uni? I've not been to an open day yet so I don't want to firm it when I've not been?! Do you have any idea what the area is actually like?!

    Yeah that does worry me because I know it's not first come first served....I really want to see it before I go because, looking online, John Foster hall looks the better place but it seems as though everyone wants to go there! But I need an ensuite so I'm not sure where I'll be applying yet.
