    Exeter 2012 Applicant's Thread
    Hey guys,

    As a tradition I'd like to start an Exeter 2012 entry thread (seeing as there is none at the current moment).

    Post your course/subject, decisions etc.

    I myself am applying for Biology C100. Fingers crossed to all!

    I'm from London, but am currently living abroad in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam (my fourth year here and about to graduate in 2012!). How about you?

    Me too! I'm so worried of rejections from the universities I'm planning to apply to.

    I'm also applying for Zoology, I started a thread to ask anyone about it but no one's really helped much haha. I loved the Cornwall Campus and Falmouth, just hoping I get in!

    My friend's sister is transferring to Exeter this year. She says it's a splendid city with a nice student life. What more can you require, honestly? (:

    I'm having a look through prospectuses and I quite like the look at the maths course at Exeter so I've ordered one. Probably going to apply.

    As i gather

    The difference between Exeter and Cornwall is basically size; Exeter is larger, busier and more competitive (higher offers!) whereas Cornwall is smaller and a bit more quiet.

    Between the two Exeter campuses I think the main difference is literally the courses available; it looks like St Luke's offers Education, Sport & Health type courses whereas Streatham is everything else really!

    This is only based on what I've read etc so do correct me if I'm wrong

    I've just discovered that one of my cousins goes to Exeter already, and my other cousin wants to as well. And one of my teachers went.

    Might go and annoy them with a few questions about it
