Hello, people. Wondering if any of you can help me, I've validated my email address for accomodation, but now I can't get past that bit. I can't find a email contact for them so what am I not doing? xx

okk thanks, so if you wanted to do a bit more work first year you could? Yes I like the look of the course, the way you can do both physical and human, and I went to an open day the other week and really liked it...I just can't decide between there and Exeter

I was at the open day doing the geogsoc talk choose Newcastle!!! Exeter is so expensive !

Can anyone tell me if I am right in thinking that accommodation applications wont be processed until after a have met the requirements of my conditional offer, even though I have accepted Newcastle as my firm choice?

Yeah that's right. If I remember rightly, it was late in the afternoon on results day that they emailed me my accomodation offer.

Oh, that's great. Yeah, I will be studying English and History, hopefully. Do you know by any chance what my degree will say? I know it's a dumb question, but I am just curious.

Will it say, BA Combined Honours in English and History or just a simple BA Combined Honours?

conditional for classical studies and english- really like the look of newcastle, and my dad is pushing for it (a proper geordie!), just not sure which to firm between Kings College London and Newcastle!

It depends. If you study it 50/50, then it will be BA Combined Honours in English and History. If you do the major/minor route, say do more English than History, it will be BA Combined Honours in English with History. And vice versa.
