    yay! I now have collingwood confirmed as my college to do politics. Any other potential collingwooders?

    YES! I'm Collingwood to do Modern Languages! SO EXCITED!
    Do you know much about Collingwood? I applied open app, and got it. I went to visit, seems nice enough as a place, but that's about all I know!

    See you there...

    awesome! No, unfortunately I don't know an awful lot about collingwood, because I haven't been to visit Durham yet, but I will be in March. I applied for it because I think it's the least formal/ had the least shared rooms and just seemed a bit more down to earth really. Plus aswell it's not too small, so there's opportunity to meet plenty of people. Also close to most things in Durham city, so quite convenient not sure whether I'm going to firm Durham though yet. Are you?

    Anybody going to the open days in march and staying over? I've already been to the open day so i've seen the uni and the engineering department already but i'll probably go anyway as i'll be able to start meeting people that will be in my college (J.Butler).

    That is if I get the grades of course
    How did you get invited to the staying over open day thing?

    Yeah, it seems a good place. I'm quite excited!
    It's beautiful. I wasn't expecting to like it... I was really unsure about firming it or not, but it is a really nice place.
    I've already firmed it cos I applied last year. I'm the year above you, so I'm on my GAP YAH (haha) now. Where else did you apply?

    Got a letter for St John's (open application). Really worried about the christian aspect of the college though. Any words of comfort/suggestions?
