Re: Sussex 2012 Applicant's ThreadWent to Open Day. Saw East Slope. Went home. Scrubbed Sussex from my shortlist. Just cant risk being put in that place.(Original post by SmallTownGirl)
It's commonly thought that people shouldn't legally be allowed to live in East Slope. Some people love it. A girl in my flat moved from East Slope because she couldn't handle that it was never clean. -

Re: Sussex 2012 Applicant's ThreadDon't just not apply to a uni because one accommodation is ****. There's 10 places and you have to order them all. Just put East Slope 10th. It's way oversubscribed every year. Presumably because students prefer beer to accommodation. I have a flatmate who swapped from East Slope in Freshers week. She had mushrooms in her shower...(Original post by mikeyb1604)

Re: Sussex 2012 Applicant's ThreadFinally got my application in as well!(Original post by krussel)
I've applied for Law! The entry requirements are AAA/AAB, and my predicted grades are AAB so I wonder what offer they would give me, if they were to give me an offer. -

Re: Sussex 2012 Applicant's ThreadI'm applying for Sussex, sending off my application on friday.
I'm applying for MPhys Physics, need to get AAB and that's what I've been predicted.
I don't have to worry about accommodation as I've already found somewhere to live, my cousin's place who leaves about 15 minutes away or so. I'd rather not fork out all those money for accommodation if I don't have to.

Re: Sussex 2012 Applicant's ThreadI don't think all the unis have to email you, I only have emails from 2(Original post by daniiibrains)
has anyone not got their conformation email despite having sent in their application yet? I sent mine in on the 11th and all my unis, except Sussex, have emailed me! So I'm a bit worried heh. -

Re: Sussex 2012 Applicant's ThreadMight be a good idea in 2nd and 3rd year. But perhaps you should think about living in halls for the first year. It's a really good time to make a lot of friends, and far easier too.(Original post by Phuck)

Re: Sussex 2012 Applicant's ThreadI was actually considering first year only for that reason.(Original post by admbeatmaker)

I really do hope I get an offer! Sussex is one of my faves. I'm assuming if I put down on my UCAS form that I'm planning to take up student accommodation, I could always ring them and change the arrangements? I need to apply but the end of this week and I doubt that's enough time to set everything in stone by then.
Good luck, same with me. I hope I get an offer too, Sussex is my first choice.

Re: Sussex 2012 Applicant's ThreadNot all universities send acknowledgement, don't worry! I haven't applied yet, but I am within the next few days.(Original post by Taurus05)
I haven't got an acknowledgement e-mail from Sussex yet, despite sending it a week ago...is this normal? Also, has anyone got offers from Sussex yet? I'm applying for ELT and Spanish and have predicted grades of AAA
Got the acknowledgement and now just waiting on news either way 
fingers crossed
