    I suppose that's the advantage you get with Trent, they invest a lot of money into practical courses like journalism, photography etc. so you'll always be equipped with the best facilities; but then again Leeds is a Russel Group uni which will be more beneficial when looking for work placements!

    I've applied for Journalism at Sheffield Hallam, Brunel, Kent, and Sheffield uni still waiting on Leeds and Sheffield to make a decision, haha! Where else have you applied?
    Hey I've applied for Broadcast Journalism too but haven't heard from Leeds yet and it's my fave! Was just wondering if you've heard anything back from them yet?

    I feel as if I'm replying to this thread a little late seeing as it was started in October, however
    I've applied to Leeds to study Psychology and have a conditional offer AAB as well as an Access to Leeds off BBB.

    Leeds is my firm and I've applied for accommodation at Charles Morris

    Anybody else in the same boat? Either for Psychology or applied for the same accommodation?

    I'm going to have a look into the accomodation tomorrow at the applicant day.
    It's likely I will choose Leeds as my firm, although I have an interview at Herriot Watt next week for fashion

    I have my English lit coursework essay tonight, too :/ Good luck with history!
    Sorry about Manchester :/ That's definitely my firm, just curious about whether Edinburgh will give me an offer. How about you? I'm pretty sure I'll put Sussex as my insurance, but maybe Keele...
    Another late reply sorry I have been recovering from the common cold ....for about 2 freaking weeks, :eek:

    yeah, Manchester does look awesome, lots of my friends have applied to there. Im really happy to have a offer considering my grades are not perfect, due to personal reasons i wont go into.

    I still have not heard from Cardiff or Bristol, but I have recived letters from leeds so im happy now, I think I would be quite torn between Cardiff and Leeds but we shall see . have you heard from Edinburgh ?

    "Oh, where you applying?"
    "Edinburgh, but not the uni of edinburgh!"
    "So Napier?"
    "No." (Awkward)
    "Where then"
    "Heriot-watt"
    "Never heard of it"....
