Awh your so lucky. I have only heard back from two. That is typical of UCAS I hope they give you an offer soon.
My favourite is Newport, waiting for a response after my interview. They said 2-3 weeks, I honestly can't wait that long. My other is AUCB. Where's your favourites?

I've got an offer for criminology and psychology, staying at opal? x

Will you be at the City Campus? I was wondering if everyone the city campus stayed at Opal. I would like to stay at the other campus (cause it's pretty mainly and the gym and SU is there) but I don't want to be seperated from the people on my course

I have applied for Film and Video, waiting on a response. Are you firming Newport?

[keefy]

If i get an offer from them.... I certainly will be.

although, can anyone tell me if having a portfolio entirely based on stills would be acceptable for a "Documentary Film and Television" interview, as I haven't done video before. :/

When I went for my Film and Video, they literally only looked at my interview task and showreel. I was flicking through my photobook but he didn't seem too interested. It may be different for your course, but mainly they wanted to chat about my UCAS statement and then looked at those two things.

Ah awesome, good luck with it my boyfriend's applied to AUCB for Event Management my favourite is Winchester, closely followed by Chichester and Gloucestershire... I think I'll have to visit them all again before I make my mind up though! :P

[MissBlueskys]

Just got an offer from Newport for Film and Video! So happy! I thought I had such a fool out of myself at the interview. Pretty sure I am going to firm it even AUCB is just as good. Mainly glad i don't have to bother with interview anymore.

Good Luck to you and your boyfriend! I have always wondered what you do on the events management course? Apparently a few people from Bournemouth went to work on the Glastonbury Festival. I heard really good things about Winchester when I was looking up universities.

Firmed Newport for Film and Video

[louiegy]

I am in a problematic position with Newport.

I've been offered a place on the Doc Photography course at Newport. It looks incredible, but i'm just concerned about living out there.

I'm really a big city person (from london originally, but now living down in brighton for a while) and I just wonder whether I could hack 3 years out in wales.

I've had an offer from Westminster Uni for Photographic Arts, and have an interview soon with LCC and Camberwell in central london. The location of those is such a big draw for me but the course at Newport just looks unbeatable.

Any locals or people who have spent significant time in Newport here who want to chime in please fell free!

Thanks.

i'm having the same probleeeem :/
i'm originally from london too and definitely see myself as a city person.
don't you think newport was a bit dead :/ i certainly did when i went...even tho, yeh - the course does look amazingggg!

[MissBlueskys]

I am from London too, while more Greater London. I am not so much of a city person myself. Newport did look a bit dead but I have heard good things about the clubs and that it is suppose to more lively at night. Would prefer some more shops, saw a Peacocks down there. Thought they were bankrupt lool.

Personally I fell in love with the Caerleon Campus because of the landscape and then found out the course was amazing as well.

It is always sandwiched between Cardiff and Bristol, if Newport does seem a little too empty?
There was a programme on yesterday (I think) called Bouncers about Newport clubs. Didn't get round to watching it. Might be enlightening? Or they may just focus on the bad parts for entertainment?

I have an offer for Documentary Photography at Newport too. Although I'm not from a big city or anything, the course just looks so good I think I'd go wherever it was! And anyway, Bristol and Cardiff are only 20 minutes away and you could probably get to London or Birmingham in less than two hours.

Either way I really loved the Caerleon campus when I went for an open day and then again for my interview and I'm so glad they gave me an offer

[windyfishface]

My son and his 2 friends have conditional offers for information security at City Campus, Newport. They have a friend who is already staying at Opal accommodation, so we went and looked around there too.... They also considered travelling in by train... They just have to make their minds up now....

Yeah it is a beautiful campus. I suppose at the end of the day It really is worth it for the quality of the course there.

I really like Bristol when i've visited friends there previously but have never been to Cardiff although I hear good things.

Looks like I might be seeing you in September.

I met someone from Bristol the other week who likened a friday or saturday night in Newport to, "the wild west". Apparently people come down from the valleys to let their hair down and party pretty hard, which could make for an interesting on going photography project seeing as I don't really drink!

I'll see If i can find that documentary thanks for the hint. And yes, the landscape is very beautiful out there. I love hiking so that'd be really nice.

I found it on 4OD the other day. I found it quite funny compared to my initial thoughts about Newport. They definately do party hard. I'm not too much of a drinker either so it will be fun people-watching in the night clubs. My brother called Newport the "Seattle of Great Britain". I can't wait to explore Wales either.

Is you course at the City Campus? Have you thought about which accommodation you prefer?
