    Have you gone for the open day yet? If so, how was it? I accepted my offer, so I'm officially going to Roehampton next year
    Yep I went to the open day It was really good, they told us a bit about the department and then we had an informal little introduction on what the course is going to be like, which was pretty useful, as I wanted to compare it with SGUL (I prefer SGUL cause they get to do dissection, whereas I don't think they do it at Roehampton) afterwards, we had a tour of the campus (accommodation on whitelands is pretty good!) and the labs, then we were sort of free to have a look around I walked down to main campus with my friend, had a look around The grounds are really beautiful, there's a pond and everything I'm pretty sure you'll love it there!

    ah for those roehampton choose the schools for u, u don't get to choose unless u there is a specific reason why u can't travel to a specific area. the lady said in the induction prior to the interviews that the schools can be unto an hour away from where we live but they try to give them as close as possible. they also sometimes buddy up a not so experienced pgce student with an experienced one in the same school so we support each other. hope this helps

    by the way u for fs / ks pgce or ks2? i have a Facebook page you could add urself to:

    fs/ks1
    http://www.facebook.com/groups/320738151296495/

    ks2

    I've confirmed my place at Roehampton and I'm studying Anthropology.

    Just wondering, is there anyone here in their early 20's rather than 18/19? I'm a bit worried I'll be that random mature student lol
