    I think it looks pretty good, but that's just from researching it online. Obviously it won't be as good as somewhere like Newcastle, but it won't be just a couple of pubs and clubs either.

    I am currently a student here, so I might be able to help The night life is pretty good here, we Oceana, K2, C103, Revs, etc but we also have a few pubs and bars which are amazing. I can't tell you about some of the places as I haven't been to them all obviously, but if you haven't been down to Plymouth to have a look around the uni or the city itself, i'd totally recommend coming to take a look!

    Congratulations on your offers!

    Only 60% of all first year students get a place in halls.. so I can't tell you what the chances would be of you getting a room unfortunetly!

    I think I can anwser your questions pretty well as im just about to finish my 1st term doing civil engineering at plymouth. The course it pretty good, i think a bigger workload than most of the other courses but you get that with any engineering degree. The maths is pretty easy though, we have just been recapping a level all the first term.

    As for the nightlife I personally think its pretty awesome, theres a few clubs and lots of cool little bars like bacbar and cuba. I think theres something for everyone depending what you like.

    Also replying to your post about getting into halls, I got into radnor but as I wasnt unconditional I think I was pretty lucky! most of my flatmates were all unconditional so I think its pretty much random.
