    Blimey. If anything's going to put you off pharmacy, it's this. :lol: Still want to be one though, even if I will be a lot younger than everyone else if what you say about a lot of them having done resits, since I'm studying in Scotland and we have one less year of school than English students. No re-sitting a year for me either.

    And if I can't get any jobs in Britain when I qualify, New Zealand is dying for pharmacists, I'll get a job over there. :cool:
    From what I hear, Australia, Canada and the US too.

    Oh no. It would be dreadful to work in any of those places... Guess it's a cardboard box for me.

    May I direct you to two other threads? There have been other people choosing between UCL and KCL and I've given my opinion on it . Also you might like to discuss your thoughts with them.

    And there is another person choosing between King's and Bath and you might want to view that thread and discuss things with that person. http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/show....php?t=1957340

    Wow. And I thought I was having doubts about doing pharmacy...

    If everything goes to plan this year, I will have only just have turned 18 (as I'm youngest in my year) and reading here that a lot of people have gap years/re take year makes me wonder whether I should wait a bit. I'll be only 21 when qualified (not including pre reg year)
