    Zoology with Animal behaviour - conditional offer and a low one at that
    I'm doing zoology and animal behaviour starting in 2012 too. Have you decided whether you're going to Bangor?

    Just got an offer for psychology at Bangor.
    Really confused now as i didn't think i'd get an offer and got to like a couple of my other choices.
    I loved it when i went there, but i'm really worried about the nightlife. I live in wolverhampton atm and it has a distinctly average nightlife according to people who go places like Liverpool and Derby but i can have a decent night there so i'm not particularly hard to please. Anyone else worried or know much about the nightlife?

    Me too! Bangor is my first choice & i've got a conditional but i'm from Birmingham so i'm used a lot of nightlife, i've heard that Bangor has about 5 clubs, just depends if they are good or not :/
    I spose, with the right people anywhere can be fun

    I'm in the same boat! I live nearby your area, near Birmingham so i'm used to a big night life. But theres about 5 clubs and loads of bars so it shouldnt be that bad :/ Btw i've applied for Psychology at bangor too! and have a conditional offer

    yeah, i just hope that the majority of people are up for a drink and night out, but because its known as quiet wales i just hope its not all quiet people who dont want to go out who go there haa

    On a gap year doing bio medicine at Bangor in 2012. Good luck everyone hope you get the grades you need. I know this seems a long way of but on results day even if you have got your grades phone up the uni and make sure your name is on the list as track will crash and even if it doesn't I didn't get confirmation of my place until two weeks after results day.

    Quick question; if I do decide to study in Bangor will my loan or fees be any different because it's in Wales or is it the same as if I applied for an English University?
