Biology

Is there anyone who has applied to just do pure biology at university starting this year? And what universities have you applied to? Any Nottingham buddies out there?

I have

I have offers from Durham, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Nottingham, Sheffield and Southampton. It's pretty much between Sheffield and Nottingham though, so I'm going to open days to them both next week so should know which I prefer by then!
Any particular reason you like Notts?

When i went everyone there was so friendly and helpful, and you could tell thats how they were normall,y and it wasn't just an act to try and get people to come to the university. I really liked the campus, and it just felt like the univeristy i could most see my self being at.

Yay, meee tooo!!!! :-)

Got my offer from York last week!!! :biggrin:

Absolute firm choice, but it's also the only conditional offer I have (have to get my Chemistry together...)

Have unconditionals from
Sheffield
Newcastle
Leeds

Sheffield seems the best for me out of the three, but I really want to live in York, so I may put Leeds down as insurance and commute if I cannot get my Chem grade... :eek:

huh, I'll be so angry with myself though

Does anyone know anything about Leeds Bio?

The normal bio course is pretty standard everywhere. Leeds course seemed good, and is similar(ish) to Newcastle's, and York's. Sheffield is a bit different, because they're very 'whole organism' based.
Leeds is a nice city, lots of night life etc, and the uni has a good reputation.
I was going to apply to Leeds, but it would mean I was living at home, so I didn't want that! Good luck with the chem grade anyway :smile:
