Notts is number 1, not sure about 2, either RH or UEA, I like both but in different ways!
What about you?

Their campuses are amazing, but completely different, I loved the course at both, and they both had really lovely accomodation! RH is a bit close to where my I live now though, so I may slightly edge towards UEA, but then RH has slightly better opportunities to study abroad (from what I can tell), so who knows which one I'll put :L If Exeter gave me an AAB offer I would put them as my insurance, but if they give me any offer at all, I'm fairly sure it will be AAA.

What about you? What did you like about Glasgow and Sheffield.

well often the campus is a dealbreaker when deciding unis i think .. depends what you prefer. Ah ok , so you want to move away from where you currently live? .. and depending on the course, you have a wide range of choices to pick from regarding studying abroad.

ahh right.. yet at the same time I am guessing Exeter is a good option for you ? :smile:

and both cities I loved , large, populated places , and coming from Manchester that is ok .. the accomodation in both was great too.. it's just the location of the uni which is the question really .. Might be edging towards Sheffield , as a bus ride away and you are in the country. Both courses are close to identical, so who knows ! :smile:

Yeah, quite far. Royal Holloway is about a 45 minute train journey away, which isn't too close, but it's in the exact same part of the country, geographically, and I'm not sure quite how independent I'd feel there. Also, I'm probably going to be living in the South East of England for most of the rest of my life, so I'd quite like to go somewhere completely different for University.

I loved Exeter, it was my second favourite after Nottingham, but they'll probably both give the same offer so there's not any point putting it as my insurance.

Ah awesome, they both sound great!

Applying for Chemistry (both BSc and MChem) & sent my application on the 21st of last month. I want an offer nowww. :lol:

Hi I'm applying for Psychology too. When I entered UEA into my UCAS it said that for this course you may be invited to attend an interview but it didn't say anything about an interview on the website and I am not prepared for one at all!

I am reapplying (I am not applying for the same course as you) but it wasn't a proper interview. They do visit days after you get your offer and they sometimes do "informal interviews" where they may reduce your offer grades if they really like you. Having said that, my friend applied for adult nursing and had a proper interview before her decision. Don't panic, they talk about things you have written in your application and they talk about what things you find most interesting etc.
Hope I helped :smile:

i have, and although someone has got back to me and altered it once, i've not heard back from them in a week and a half so i'm a bit worried!

I wouldn't be worried. Universities tend to over-subscribe their courses at the offers stage anyway. I applied for my course in December time last year and got an offer, so I really wouldn't worry about it. :smile:

Thank you! :biggrin:
