    Ahh okay then, my other choices were keele and nottingham trent, but I heard Oxford Brookes is higher respected! erghhh its so annoying!
    I suppose i have chosen now, so no turning back lol..
    Good luck where ever you go
    I heard that aswell but nottingham trent isnt bad either and i'd seen it, i was more comfortable goin there then somewhere i havent seen before.
    lol i had originally gone for oxford brookes as my first choice but then i changed my mind to nottingham trent so i think im happy with this decision. well the ucas people said if u ring up the school they can decide whether to accept u or not if u change ur mind about it so there is always that option. lol (: x

    ...I'm doing Japanese
    ...but combined w/ Computer Science.
    Have you got facebook? You should join our group for Japanese applicants.
    It's not a big group, but that's because there won't be a lot of us there.

    ...looks like we'll see you there in September then

    ...what happens is I'll go abroad in the 3rd year in Japan, while missing out the 3rd year for CS, but since most people would probably do work placements anyway... I'll be with the same year/class as the CS folks (unless they just went straight to 3rd year).

    ...so this degree would take 4 years to complete. Trip to Japan is more important than anything else in the 3rd year XD

    Oxford Brookes is my insurance, but I think I may not get the grades to get into my firm. Obviously I hope I will get the grades for my firm but if I don't I think I'll still be happy at Oxford Brookes! I'm studying film

    I am 23 too and i applied in clive booth postgraduate center as my first choice so don't worry there would be many others the same age with us! What r u gonna study there? Did you applied for accommodation?

    I applied for Clive Booth en suite. Not PG. I want the Uni feel, It'll do me good to party a bit.

    I was originally doing a joint honours course Human Bioscience and Anthropology, but I went down on the open day on June 9th and had a chat with the tutors, and found out that Human Biology would be better for my career choice, so went to talk with the admissions and looks like I'm doing Human Biology instead.

    What you doing?

    Hehehe thats good my friend! Hopefully i would not be the younger in the hall!! I will study the public health master so maybe we would take same modules!! whats is your second choice in the accom? I choose the 50 weeks contract due to the dissertation and i believe i choose wrong!

    Second choice is Paul Kent, then Cheney.
    We've got the subject matter in common, so who knows when we might bump into each other.

    It fixed itself so it must have been a problem on their side.

    All sorted and sccommodation accepted. Just can't wait to be down there now.

    Hi everyone, I want to ask a question about our uni. Does OBU have a campus in Singapore? I have met a few people said they were living in Singapore and they were also studying at OBU too. I search on the internet, there is a institution called Brookes University in Singapore but does it have anything to do with OBU?
    Thank you
