    One of the top ten cities in the world to visit apparently, the only thing I'm worried about is the city's likeness to London...
    Yeah, as a Londoner, me too

    True, true. That's a fair point, that's for sure. But then, in a way, it will of course have its own sense of identity precisely because it isn't London.

    London is massive. Bristol will be nothing like it.

    As a Londoner studying in Bristol, I'd say it's very different...but in a good way (:

    I'm applying for Zoology.

    I live in Bristol now and it is NOTHING like London, much more chilled out and a lot smaller.

    I'll be 25 when applying, 26 when attending (hopefully).. and trying to get in on a National Diploma in Animal Management (predicted grades D*D*D*). It'll be tough but I have plenty of Ecology/relevant research work experience. So fingers crossed! It's a great city! It'd be cool to talk to any other Zoology applicants or mature applicants!

    Good luck everyone!

    Probably applying for Physics and Philosophy. I visited Bristol briefly this spring, and it seemed like a great place. I was quite impressed by the physics building -- also the law building, but shhh.

    Where else are people going to apply?

    Physics and Philosophy seems like a brilliant course. If only I had the mental capacity :laugh:
    I'm applying for Economics with Study in Continental Europe :cool:

    Hey I'm hoping to get into A104 Foundation in Medicine in 2012. I love Bristol, and I've been there (the town not the University) before and really liked it

    Hoping to apply for BA Archaeology and Anthropology. Just trying to make a final decision on the which universities to apply to, but I think Bristol is one of my favourites so it will probably go down on UCAS soon.
