Hellooo there :')

I have applied to DMU for Business and Management and recieved an offer anyone else?

Also as the thread title hints, haha, has anyone considered accommodation or is it just me? What accommodation are you looking to go for or have any info on?

Any comments appreciated

[peri93]

heya im a first year at dmu studying pharmacy. congrats on ur offer If u have any questions on anything (probably not course related tho..) feel free to ask . Im living at liberty park right now but theres loads of accomodation like newarke point, bede hall etc . Newarke point is probably the closest to the campus as its like a 1/2min walk to the SU.

thanks for the reply yeah i think newarke point looks amazing how did you ensure you got into your first choice accommodation?

I applied for business and marketing and I have a conditional now. I think DMU is gonna be my firm choice.
Not really looked into accommodation much, just hoping for internet and en-suite.

I'm looking at either Victoria Hall or Newarke Point. I've already visited Victoria Hall and it looks good, but I'm still undecided.

Speaking of accommodation, does anyone know if DMU has a policy of grouping mature students together in halls of residence?

well when i applied i didnt have to do choices. I think its because i chose liberty park which is private so i just had to apply straight to them while newarke point is university owned. Yh the rooms at newarke are pretty nice and they have proper bathrooms (ours are like airport toilets!)!

hey, i've heard that kingsfisher is where most of the mature students are but that could be due to random reasons? would you prefer to mixed with the younger ones?

I'm not particularly bothered one way or another, to be perfectly honest. I am going to ask about the possibility of being with other mature students, but if it doesn't happen, than that's not a problem.

[Afua93]

that sounds alright are you bothered about DMU being so low on the rankings?

Heyy i applied for pharmacy at DMU and got an offer without an interview so i was quite pleased. Can u plzz give me some info on the best place to live in halls of residence and whats the course like how are the lectures and stuff arranged. sorry to be a pain im jus buzzin that i got an offer.

[Talzz]

anyone applied for pharmacy and got an offer? if so i think we shud get to know each other then atleast we wont be strangers. Wud be nice to make some buddies before hand and maybe we can apply for the same accomodation

The academic rankings or the accommodation rankings? I'm not particularly bothered by either, to be perfectly honest. It was by far the best of the five universities I applied to and the course is exactly what I'm looking to do career-wise. As for the accommodation, I'm going to visit the housing office when I'm down there next Wednesday. I'll hopefully get some solid information from that

[Afua93]

i meant the academic rankings and same...we have to give the 18 year old university some credit! it's not gonna be in the top 20 after just 18 years of becoming a university besides the accommodation is probably the best i have seen too! and all within walking distance means savings in relation to bus fare and getting up in the morning and feeling to lazy to get up to get a bus or walking for ageeees! lol
ohh are you any useful info would you share please

[phil_w89]

I'll do that for sure

DMU is gonna be firm I think and if I get an offer from brighton that'll be my insurance.

Is dmu gonna be your firm? are your courses business & management at all your choices? Mine are all business(management) and marketing

Hey congrats yh i didnt have an interview either just found out from ucas track! Um on best places to live im at liberty park right now and apart from airplane bathrooms its not too bad. Thing is i think prices are going up next year and internets about £100/200 extra.
Newalke point for pharmacy as most of the stuff is based in the hawthorne building its literally right next door. To be honest though when i was applying liberty looked much more modern than newalke point but now looking like at the rooms in newalke it looks pretty cool.
Victoria halls is also close to hawthorne but iv never been inside so i dont no how its like. Theres a lot of private accomodation as well available but that should be more for after the 1st year. Theres a private accomodation called Code and they mainly do studio flats but they have around 6 shared flats available which is REALLY nice and for a good price but they go quickly so you need to start looking into accomodation for the 2nd year from november/december (really earlyyy)!

The course is pretty good. You have around 12 practicals per term (3hours each) which is more than enough and theres mainly two terms. Next year for u guysthough its getting reaccredited so itl be a bit different. Most of my days though start at 9am ¬_¬ and the timetable changes weekly so u can get those weeks that are arghhh and those weeks that are chilled. Overall tho its pretty good!
