UCL History 2012 entry

Yep it's for V100. I didn't get an email, I got a letter then the day after my UCAS updated! Be patient

I am! :-D Is UCL your first choice?

i am trying! massive congrats on your offer you must have been so relieved!

firmed UCL for history v101 doing history, government & politics and classics, excited!!

Me too!!! i made my decision yesterday and i'm still feeling very happy and excited

congratulations!!
i know same,cant wait to start!
were you at the open day couple of wednesdays ago?

oooh i wonder if i saw you?!
same i got a private tour round the place when i asked the roland chap nicely though, was good times :P
mmm i know it was really interesting, loved the old guy he was rather amusing i must say

i know right! 13 years of being stuck in little school is nearly over, it feels strange! haha
mind me asking what your insurance is?

My insurance choice is brunel. Before i started the UCAS application it used to be my first choice, as i thought their history course was awesome Then i discovered the UCL SSEES history course and fell in love

Are you going to be staying in UCL accomadation?

aha fair enough :P i remember looking at it but never put it down as a choice
I hope so, i applied but it just keeps saying pending -_- not sure if i did it wrong or not haha, i hope not though otherwise i have a bitch of a commute to do wbu ?

I really would love to live in accomadation for the experience, but my dads not keen on the idea and also the fact that i only live about 30-45 minutes away from UCL by tube.

You started your student finance yet? i registered yesterday after i firmed UCL. Its really weird, but i find it really exciting and nerve-wracking that i'm applying for my first ever proper loan

ah thats fair enough, can you apply for accommodation if you live in london or do you just get bumped down the waiting list?
yar just need the parents to do their bit of form filling then i just wait for the cash to start rolling in , not looking forward to paying it back though

i think ucl has accomadation places for all undergraduates for their first year regardless of where they live. I saw on the student calculator that if i was able to live away from home, i could get around £7000 in maintenance loan if i live away and study in london. This figure is now one of the arguments i'm using to convince my parents with

wow! your so far into your application, i've only just registered

do you mind if i ask what you mean by parents doing their form filling?

to be fair if i was a parent that would sway me :P
aha i got bored one night and just went and filled it all in :P
oh to get the student loan you can have it income assessed [so usually youd get more] or un-assessed, if youre getting it assessed your parents need to submit all their income details to see how much money the government can throw at you

Aw thanks so much! Where else have you applied?

I applied to Oxford (rejected), Kings College, Manchester and Edinburgh

I have an offer from Kings and went to the open day last week, it was a good place but UCL is my top choice! how about you?

I think it will be, I have an offer for King's too but UCL has a better reputation so I'll probably firm UCL . How about you?

I'm still waiting to hear from LSE, but I'm pretty sure I'll be firming UCL too. :-)

As good as LSE is, i imagine it to be a little anti-social and i don't think i'd get the full uni experience (i.e. getting s**tfaced every night) ha!

See, this is going to make me sound really dull, but that's actually one of the things that was making me consider choosing LSE! I live in Newcastle at the minute and while I do drink, I don't do it nearly as much as most people I know - I really hate the idea of not remembering things/passing out/throwing up/etc. Especially with London living costs meaning I'd probably be sacrificing other things for alcohol. I don't want to go somewhere with absolutely no social life though either, so I'm not really sure what to think. I keep being told, "As soon as you get to uni, you'll want to drink loads" as well... which I don't think is true. But who knows!
