    King's College London Freshers 2012
    As far as I am aware King's College have started to give out offers. Congratulations to those of you have received one!

    I thought it would be nice to get to know one another before we hopefully go in 2012!

    [P.S This is the first thread I've made so I hope I've done it right :confused:]

    Will definitely be firming for French & Brazilian Portuguese unless I get an offer from Cambridge... but I'm pretty much already resigned to the fact that that's not going to happen!

    Aww I would definitely be getting in on this thread but I applied for deferred! :/ Will almost definitely be firming for medicine though. See you all in 2013, you can show me round.

    I might firm King's for Hispanic Studies with English! Still need to choose between King's and QMUL though.

    Hi there!

    I have not received answers from all the other universities I have applied to, but I am sure I'll firm KCL (Physics & Philosophy).

    I just have two questions:

    1) Is there a lot of young students (because I am just 16, and I don't really know the average age of the first year students)?
    2) How is it like to study Physics & Philosophy? And do we need to have read any books before the start of the course?

    I think the majority of freshers are around 18. To be honest, I only know a couple classmates of mine who are 17, don't know any 16 year olds, but that's just the people I know. I wouldn'y worry too much about it though-people are really accepting and diverse at King's.

    About the readings, I don't think anyone will be able to answer that on tsr. But, if the department doesn't tell you to do any reading then you're not expected to.
