    No, University of Sheffield. It's a great uni, great facilities...just not the course I wanted to be on so I'm leaving. The course is one of the best in the country and the teaching is excellent. It's just up to you and what you want.

    Hiya, I'm currently doing my A2 and am applying for biomed. Was just wondering, does the uni look at predicted grades rather than your actual grades? Also, I'm applying to Sheffield uni so how's the uni life there?e.g lectures, seminars, accomodation, social life xD

    There May be as much as 200 in one lecture theathre. All the class is divided into tutorial groups of 10-15 people with individual tutors for each of them. Very Good course but not easy

    I'm moving from my current university to UoS. What is it you don't like about the course and where are you moving to ?
