    I haven't decided whether to put it as my first choice yet! Why did you chose it? Also what course you taking?

    I just put Manchester as my firm choice to study Criminology.

    Grade needed: ABB
    AS Grades: ICT(A) Religion(A) Maths(C) Technology and Design(B)

    I have banked T&D so I need to pull my Maths up to a B. I will get it tight to do so, I'm currently sitting on a low C.

    Sitting C1,C2,C3,C4 & S1 in summer

    I'm hoping I get into Manchester, it seems to be a top class Uni. I have Northumbria as my insurance choice to study Crimonology and Forensic(280 UCAS points)

    Going to firm Manchester for Physics with Astrophysics.
    Got an offer of A*AA, and I'm sitting Maths, Physics, Biology, and Welsh Bacc. My AS grades were: Maths (A) Physics (A) Biology (A) Music (A) English Literature (A).
    Applied for accommodation at Woolton, Allen, and Dalton Ellis in that order.
    Manchester looks like a really world class university, and as a Physics applicant it seems to be the place to be!

    Why does everybody have such a huge prejudice against international students? :eek:

    Anyways, I haven't talked to anybody who only had international students in their flat. I live in Burkhardt and in my flat there are 7 British students and 3 EU/International students for example ...

    No no i dont, its just i have heard from a few people and my teachers at school that some international students are more prone to working a lot of the time due to higher fee costs and wanting to make sure they dont mess it up- which is understandable!!! I want to try and make is easy to socialise and make sure i have a good time haha

    are people in your flat mainly first years or do you make a mixture?

    People seem to thinkt they only meet people in their hall. I met most of my friends on my course / in societies. You don't need to worry that much
