I would like to apply for Keynes but I don't know whether there is a difference between the large en-suite and the normal en-suite.. Help??


I'm currently living in the large en-suite room. The room and bathroom are both slightly larger and you have a double bed instead of a single. Due to the larger room, the overall layout and positioning of the bed/desk is also slightly different (and I personally prefer it, having seen the regular sized rooms).

But double bed = win :tongue: It does cost a bit more though. But if price isn't really an issue, you should go for it! Especially if you have a SO that will want to spend the night :biggrin:

Here are some photos of the Keynes large en-suite. Sorry I don't have photos of the regular-sized room to compare though:

I just blabbed about a new building in my area and then edited it. I'm not really so much into the words.. I'm more of a mathematical person but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be once I got going c:
I was still building up my portfolio >< I decided to do an online one. I can send you a link if you want?

AAA but I got ABB last year =S I was only slightly off an A in Maths so they bumped me and Physics bumped me because they saw my determination from last year (I got a U in January then re-sat for a B ^^)
Out of Kent and Nottingham I'm swaying towards Kent more for my first c: It's a long way from home though.
Unless I get an offer from Cambridge (I wish O_O) I think Kent would be my Firm :biggrin:

keynes college is newly built/refurbished so they have the best flats and houses, the latest equipments in the kitchen and better sofas ahah :P i like it also because it's almost in front of the venue :biggrin: park wood it's nice but it's too far out for me...I prefer living where life is, and also, I'm not really a morning person, i could never walk 15 mins in the cooold morning :P

I sent my application off on 2nd December and still don't have a confirmation email...does this mean something has gone wrong? I'm predicted AAB, and have applied for 2 courses at Kent, which match my predicted grades D: I know it's not UCAS because I have an offer from Sussex :/ has anybody else applied fairly early and hasn't yet received a confirmation?

No...turns out I'm just stupid. Was looking in the wrong inbox hahahahaha, now I'm just concerned it's taken them over a month to make a decision, considering Kent is meant to be my firm choice! :|

Been waiting for over 2 months for a decision now... (having got an acknowlegment very quickly along with other emails about general stuff). Just hoping they make a decision soon, and perhaps once the 15th Jan deadline has passed, they'll be able to do so.
