    I didn't know you could do this! I would love to do this, if you do find out more information please let me know And also thanks for the info on the campuses!
    http://www.exeter.ac.uk/undergraduat...ish/englishna/

    That's the site link, I don't know much beyond that really, I'll be questioning someone intensely at the open day in sept for sure & have already been asking a cousin of mine who lives Florida

    Sounds like the biggest downside is not being able to drink haha

    Fellow Arc and Anther!! Where else are you applying?
    I'm going for BA Arc at York and Joint Arc & Anther at Durham as well, but Exeter is going to be my first choice i think. I used to holiday in Devon when i was a kid and i love the place

    How about you?

    Ah thanks for the website, very useful I'd love to get down to the Open Day but not sure if I can, might have to ask you for a few details if you wouldn't mind! That's very cool, you have links there at least

    I was thinking about York, not too sure about it yet though. Same here, joint Arc and Anth at Durham, and Anth at Durham, Bristol and St Andrews Rather liking Durham at the moment, but we'll see (yn)

    I want to do English at the cornwall campus.

    I visited it a while back now, and it has just taken me Really hope I will get in, but English is so competitive

    Yeah, i looked at Durham first of all. Definitely the best in the country for Arch, but i dont think i'd be the 'top quality student' they're after and my UCAS app will probably be tossed to the kerb hehehe.

    I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, good luck

    Oh same here, but all we can do is try good luck to you too, do you know which college you'd apply to?

    No-one can say we're not the trying types hehehe.

    I like the looks of St Mary's and St Chad's, but i'm not sure which one is closest to the Arch department......that will have a big bearing on which college i choose, plus i'm not sure about the gowned dining events

    How about you?

    Haha, indeed they can't!
    Oh I quite liked St Mary's too I hadn't even thought about how close the college was! oh dear, and probably Hatfield
    Still like the look of Exeter though, it's also a lot warmer in Cornwall :L

    Yeah, i looked at Hatfield, it looks nice but a friend of mine says they have a bit of a bad rep.....i suppose i shouldnt listen to that sort of thing but rumour seems to be all i have to go on hehehe.

    I think i've made up my mind that Exeter will be my first choice. Campus looks lovely, close proximity to the beaches of Cornwall and Exmouth, chance to work on digs abroad and of course the Arch and Anth department sounds quality.

    All i have to do now is try and get an offer.......darn Personal Statements. I must have had 2 or 3 different drafts so far and not liked any of them

    Ohh, I just realised you're the person who also commented on the 'Zoology' thread I started, to answer your questions, there's building work going on on the campus so I'm presuming that it will relatively new by the time I apply. Also it's about a 5 minute drive into Falmouth, and apparently a 10 minute bus ride or 25 minute bike ride. I really love Falmouth though If you want more details, ask them on my thread
