Re: Lancaster 2012 Applicants!Ahh cool, where are you from? I live in Birmingham, I'm travelling up to the subject open day on the 10th March. I was going to wait until after this day to firm it, but today in a moment of happy madness I just thought "Ha I'll firm it" and did it. What's your insurance?(Original post by SBarns)
Well I was thinking Pendle standard (non-ensuite), or Furness standard (non-ensuite) - basically the cheapest ones possible. Yeah I was originally intending to go to St Andrews, but went up to the subject open day mid-Feb and it totally convinced me. -
Re: Lancaster 2012 Applicants!Yes I did, were you there too?(Original post by CallumJohn)
Did you go to 18th feb? -
Re: Lancaster 2012 Applicants!They have a job shop that helps you get a job but i don't know how good it is sorry(Original post by ifstatement)
What are some thoughts on getting a part time job in Lancaster? In my opinion it seems a bit isolated to land a job in Lancaster? Not that I hate Lancaster since the Campus is great. -
Re: Lancaster 2012 Applicants!Just west of Birmingham, you know Kidderminster? Yeah I was originally intending to go to St Andrews and then make the decision, but I knew it was the right place so just firmed it. Heriot Watt, what's yours?(Original post by rachaelizabeth)

I think I've been planning to go to Lancaster since around this time last year, when I first got their prospectus and started properly looking into studying Maths.
My insurance is Keele, they wanted ABC so I figured it was a safe bet and would allow me to definitely avoid clearing

My head of maths went to Lancaster many, many years ago, so that's where I first heard of it, and ahh that's sensible, HW want BBB, a nice low offer. -

Re: Lancaster 2012 Applicants!G103, the study abroad one. Not sure if I actually want to go abroad yet, but I figured it would be easier to opt out than opt in. I have no idea about minor options though...(Original post by CallumJohn)

Re: Lancaster 2012 Applicants!You know the minor options, are you talking about elective modules? (Like, 20 credits or so in a different subject other than maths)(Original post by SBarns)
G103, the study abroad one. Not sure if I actually want to go abroad yet, but I figured it would be easier to opt out than opt in. I have no idea about minor options though...
Or an actual minor subject / dual honours heavily weighted on Maths?
If we're talking electives, do you know if we get them in the first year or is it second/later?
Cheers
