    I've already had my interview there, so if I seen your post earlier I could have told you what questions they would ask for Law.

    How did your interview go and do you like the uni?

    Really considering putting De Montfort as my firm. But the grades are reasonably achievable at BCC so I may push myself and put it as my insurance and list Brighton at BBB as my firm.

    Does anyone know what Leicester itself is like? Is the nightlife good?

    My interview, surprisingly, went a lot more smoother than I expected, mainly because my interviewer was so nice. I could only find positives about the Uni and I love how it's all on one campus; it gives it a great community feel. The new Hugh Aston building is amazing, so much better than the crumbling Uni of Leicester. I've still not checked out Uni of Lincoln, my final choice, and if I don't like there I'll definitely be firming DMU. .. I still haven't received an offer yet though, I'll be gutted if I don't get an offer.

    Im glad it went well for you. Yeah Ithought DMU was good too. They send offers about a week and a half adter you've had an interview so dont worry too much. Also, they will send you a letter with the offer as well, and this usually comes before the actual UCAS offer comes through.
    Good luck!

    Congrats to all accepted!

    I've just accepted De Monfort as my Prime choice, studying Business Management & Economics at Leicester business school. Considering this what's the best accommodation - I'd also prefer en suite bathrooms. Thanks guys!

    I had my interview on Tuesday and they are fine! The people doing the interviews are really nice, and it's very informal which makes the whole thing a lot more fun!

    I've heard Newarke Point is meant to be the nicest of the halls! Can't be too certain on this, but i know people at the uni and that's their opinion

    I live in Bede, honest to God, I love it!

    Newarke is nice, however, why pay so much extra to have a bathroom to yourself? They're tiny anyway!

    I share with 9 others girls, and no-one I know who lives in Bede has had a problem sharing.
    Bede is also the most leanient on having people stay.

    You can only have on person stay over in newarke, no-one in Liberty, which also has the tiniest of bathrooms, I would AVOID Liberty!

    Bede is the most sociable of Halls, It is the smallest with 3 stories, everyone knows each other, and Freshers was the best! We have a little courtyard and was such a ball!

    The Bedrooms are soooo spacious here, and have the biggest kitchens with the most equipment.

    Choose Bede!!! It's the best!!! Plusss one of the cheapest halls!

    I booked my room when I got my results aswell, there will be plenty of spaces!

    Good luck with Journalism! I study it here, and aswell as being a challenging course, it is also enjoyable!

    http://www.infoline.ru/g23/5495/sensors.htm

    Fiber optic sensors, components and experimental setups for educational
    and R&D laboratories.

    Investigation of mechanical resonators with the aid of fiber optic
    interferometer Fabry-Perot.
    heya, I did single honors.

    So as you know aswell as getting your degree you will also, if you pass your certificate exams will be accredited by the NTCJ, which is the best in journalism.

    First year, which is what I am in, you have to learn shorthand! It is very hard, and to pass with the NTCJ you have to write 100 words per min, to pass the module for first year it is 60 words. Once you pass shorthand you do not have to do in the next 2 years.

    You also have to learn Law, which even Law students are warned not to pick media Law as it is immensly precise and picky.

    The course is hard, enjoyable at the same time, I hear people say first year doesn't matter, but it really does with Journalism!!!

    Hope that helps!!!
