    , i see. BTW did you got a lecture at ucl on DNA and stuff? My bio teacher told on the same day
    Yep, went on friday I usually go to them every week, and it just started up again last week so it should be good for the term ^^

    I almost wish I didn't live so close to Barts and Kings. It would suck for me to have to commute from home :/
    I know, right I don't want to stay at home, but if I go to a london uni, I'd have to rent after the first year...

    Hmm true - unless you did an intercalated degree at Durham - then you'd get one from each.
    True, will you intercalate? I would, but i am gathering my confidence to leave london if i go to uni outside london :moon:

    I think going into private accommodation for 2nd year onwards is pretty uniform for all universities. (For UK residents at least)
    I'd just want to be in Student accomm for 1st year so I could have some fun for first year

    Oh my god wouldn't it be great to do pre clinical at Cambridge and clinical at Oxford. You would be just about the biggest traitor in the history of forever.

    Hahaha



    Ooh what is it like?
    Well the Exeter one is split into several buildings. There are two of note, the first is quite large (but by Exeter's standards, that's relatively small to other cities), three floors high and modern it was built just before the school opened so is fairly modern.

    The other is a single floor with lecture theatre extensions. It's nifty 60s type prefab style. Not too dissimilar to Churchill College Cambridge- but with beige shingle coat exterior walls.

    I would like to do Chemistry- or perhaps Zoology if I go UCL as they have the greatest Zoology collection I have ever laid eyes on. Something incredible.

    I'd definitely want to. Not just for the FY1 application but it could be a nice way to branch aside from medicine

    Zoology would be pretty interesting. I kinda want to do Genetics or possibly the Maternal Fetal Physiology degree that King's offer. But I'll probably have a better idea closer to the time

    It's not uncommon for people to do pre-clinical at Cambridge and clinical at Oxford...

    Eww I hate the buildings at Churchill.

    Is it anywhere near the sea?

    I was considering Anatomy or Physiology, if I take a fancy to neuro, possibly neuroscience. That Maternal Fetal Physiology sounds pretty interesting, saying that I am really interested in Obs/Gyn.
    I may just have to copy you :teehee:

    I thought I was the only one here interested in O&G! :hugs:

    Neuroscience looks pretty interesting. If a career in medicine fails me, I could always be the real life Amy Farrah-Fowler

    Really? Bastards. (lol :lol: )

    Churchill is ok, but I feel their website seems to emit a bit more 'arrogance' (?) than other Cambridge Colleges. I tend to not worry about the buildings, more the teaching standard. It's all superficial after all.

    Were about ten miles from the sea, you can walk there in 4-5 hours and cycle there in about half the time :love:

    Yes because there aren't enough clinical places at Cambridge for everyone so Cambridge, Oxford and some of the London unis like have a swapping session when it comes to clinical :P

    I've never been on there website as after staying there for a week I'm not applying there :P

    Oh that sucks :/
