    Firmed for c100 Biology! Going to visit Exeter has been a real kick up the backside - I've been so much more motivated and organised study wise. When I applied with my AS results, I didn't think I'd even get an offer - now I've got it, the thought of not quite making the grades is horrific xD. Hope to see you all there!

    If I'm making Exeter my insurance, do I have to apply for accommodation as well?

    Just firmed my unconditional for LLB/Maitrise. Do you get sent an actual Letter confirming it with your details (so you can apply for accommodation) or is it an email letter?

    No. Everyone applies for accomodation at their firm. After results people shift around and if you end up at your insurance then accomodation gets sorted then.

    You get both. On the top of the email/letter is your number and you use this to register with accomodation on line and then on the 16th April the actual accomodation application part begins.

    Nope, I went for the year in North America. Was gonna go for the Professional Experience but was swayed by the temptation of the year in America!

    If I do go catered I'll def. be putting pennsylvania court down, but for self-catered Birks Grange is really nice
