    I'm trying my luck at Jesus. Really liked the feel there, old buildings but modern feeling, and the 2 grass tennis courts outside accomodation block was a nice bonus, being a tennis player! Where are you applying?
    Ooooo , I am going to go for St.Johns, was originally going to apply to Homerton but I went to StJohns open day and LOVED it plus they were all lovely! I hope we get in!! haha

    Other than Durham, Exeter seems to be a popular choice - what is so good about Exeter?

    And oh god, everyone in here seems to be very intelligent. I saw many Cambridge and Durham applicants here :O

    I've had offers from Leeds and Liverpool but for a bsc. I would say you've got a good chance with Leeds, Liverpool and Manchester I don't know the entry requirements for the others, but they should be similar. So yeah
