cool :smile: are you firming bath?


I'm trying to decide between sheffield and bath :confused: what about you? :smile:
Anyone know what Bath are like in terms of allowing grade entry below the offer. I only ask because I got just got through an A*AA offer for Psychology - but only managed 81 UMS in PSYA4, so the A* is looking very unlikely - on top of whether or not I can actually get 3 As.

I only ask because I'm unsure whether to just ignore it and firm Bristol (AAA) and put York as my insurance choice (AAB).

One of my flatmates had an A*AA offer for psychology and they let her in with AAA, but I don't know whether that's the general case. I also know they let someone in without the required grades for maths, but that was probably because her school didn't do further maths and she had to teach herself.

I really wish JW was nearer, because it does look lovely.

I'm still struggling to choose between en-suite and no en-suite. Argh.

I just don't know whether it would be worth the extra £20 per week. Westwood looks nice as a non-en-suite option, the Marlborough/Solsbury rooms look smaller in comparison. Woodland :coma: - £5130-£5320 though :s-smilie:

Ah: Applications for 2012/13 accommodation will open 2 April 2012.

Westwood rooms look spacious but I want ensuite :L

Yeah I don't like how small Solsbury court rooms are that's why I am looking at other options.

Woodland is nice but what do I do with a double bed lol.

Oh right need to decide fairly soon then :smile:

When I went, we didn't get to visit any of the accommodation so I've only seen the outside.

I'd rate Solsbury/Marlborough higher than Woodland, much easier living with 5/6 people than it is with 15.
