I got a conditional offer for a PGCE course in Hull, I need to do a French extension course in the summer and get a C in GCSE Maths. Sounds terrifying!!!!!
fingers crossed!

Hey all,

Currently stuck between a rock and a hard place in deciding on my insurance place, with Hull being one of the two choices. Just wondering if anybody has a run-down of the compulsory and optional modules on the Marine and Freshwater Biology (C163) course, I've been looking but I'm only finding a general description of the course. If anybody has any info on this, it'd be much appreciated!

Thanks

Brilliant! Thanks so much for the info, though I doubt that I'd be good enough to get onto any sports teams - My greatest sporting achievement is just about qualifying for the discus at sports day in Year 10 and javelin in Year 11, and I came last... Both times... :'(

Most of the teams cater to a wide range of abilities, I know that this year at the hockey club we had a few people join who never played before and they have become regular players and social goers. There's something for everyone. You won't miss out because you aren't very good at all.

That sounds absolutely fantastic, might actually take up hockey then - thanks

That's great to hear No matter what your first impressions are I definitely recommend you fully embrace the first social on the wednesday of fresher's week (and all the wednesday socials after that) they are simply great evenings.

I know, I can't wait to go either! Hopefully we might meet up there at some point! The course looked absolutely spectacular, which is why I was so easily convinced to turn down Sheffield, even with it's amazing rep. Internet Hi-5!

I have indeed, the open day was probably one of the best experiences I've ever had, and considering I thought my cat was being put down back at home, I find it utterly remarkable that I managed to enjoy going to Hull so much. Luckily he's downstairs destroying aesthetic figurines now. ^_^

Any idea what kind of accommodation you're going for?!

i really really really want, no, infact i need an en suite room, i'm such a clean freak the idea sharing a bathroom genuinely makes me wanna cry! but living in the lawns seems like it willbe fun so i'm probably gonna go for nicholson or lambert, roll on application day!

I got my email through to register for a MyAdamn account on the university of Hulls website, I have an unconditional offer in Mech Eng, I followed the steps and all that i entered my Ucas Id number and but im a bit confused by the MyAdmin home screen im seeing it has three options for me too choose, Apply for study, Change password and change security details. is that all the options im ment to have at the momment?

Being from Hull, it's good to see a lot of people looking to go to uni there. I don't, but friends of mine do and it is a fine university. The city isn't bad either for students.

Yes that is all we get for now, it explains in the email that an option for accommodation will show up when it opens at 7am on Wednesday.

Fantastic! Thanks for the idea, I ensure you, I'll give it a shot if I remember. I just realised the irony in that sentence...

Really? I'll probably go for shared accommodation, actually, I'm pretty sure I'm going for a student house, the 42 contract appeals to me mainly because I REALLY hate living at home... Strangely enough, it really doesn't bug me whether I have to share a toilet... I mean, it's a lot cheaper without one, and plus, think of all the spare money you'll have to get wasted with me

Any advice on accommodation, I’m stuck between Nicholson Hall and Taylor Court?

but if i have a shared bathroom i'll spend all my time cleaning it rather than going out i'm pretty nervous about the application thing on wednesday i hope i wake up in time, its first come first serve isn't it?

i know that nicholson is cheaper, and is okay as far as student places go, but i didn't go to taylor court at the open days, its seems nice from the pictures!

Yes i think it is first come first serve i think. I wouldn't worry yourself too much about not getting up early. The site will almost certainly crash when hundreds of students all trying to book accommodation at the same time. Although i share your worry of not getting what i want.

I hope you get on ok tomorrow morning and get the accommodation you want.

Physics but with a foundation year I only have one AS level, surprised they let me in to say the least.

Ah, but that's the beauty of having cleaners to do it all for you! I bet you I'll have waayy more time to go out because you'll have to clean yours up yourself :P

Yeah, the only reason I managed to fill it in at 7 was because I stayed up the night, usually I would have hit the snooze button and lay in bed.

Yes it was. So, did you manage to get up then?

Say, is there anyone else from London going to Hull in 2012?
