Re: Leicester 2012 ApplicantsI've applied to Leicester for Human Geography. Sent 6th October, just an acknowledgement so far! It is my home uni, and only really decided to apply fairly last minute. But what with higher tuition fees etc, and not really sure I'm ready to leave home, decided it would be a good choice. plus i loved the look of the course when I went to visit on open day. I know the uni fairly well anyway as can go there from college.
always in the starbucks in the students union building! and the new library is cool. wouldn't move into halls tho!

Re: Leicester 2012 ApplicantsYes it is a campus uni, not as big as some other unis such as Leeds. But it is then about a 20 minute walk from there into city centre, or 5-10mins on the uni hopper bus. Nightlife is fairly good I think, (I don't go out at night much, I'm not a student yet, but have applied for Leicester and live here) Careers department I don't know. Sports - the sports facilities are about 2miles from campus, next to the halls of residence in Oadby. They are currently ok - there's some astroturf pitches, a running track, some tennis courts, and a gym. but the gym is being re-built and it look amazing!!! pool, sauna, gym, etc. I'm a public member at the moment, so use it quite a lot! Feel free to ask any more questions, I have a reasonable knowledge of uni and city, although not yet a student!(Original post by yanimus)

Re: Leicester 2012 Applicantsoh yes, that's true. i forgot that. hardly used it as i live nearer to the manor road gym, and when i did go on campus it was a bit scary in there!!(Original post by odacel)
There is a gym in the SU on campus as well. A sportscard works both places.
