    I have no clue, but if not and other people want one, you could always start one
    Might have to do that seeing as Sussex and Kent have MUN's.

    I'm sure there will be lots of people around who would want to join in, if there isn't one already. I don't know the soc website is up to date though... so there is a chance there is one!

    Yeah, I suppose. Although they have a Lib Dem society so they probably haven't updated it.

    Yeah, I don't suppose they need to put it up since they already have a Conservative Soc

    But on other less touchy subjects... 20 days until AS results!!

    Re: UEA 2013 Applicants
    UEA is the only university I am applying to in 2013. I thinking of doing a Politics and Media degree as I want to do something related to the civil service, media and maybe work with young people?
    I went to UEA in July and just loved it there. I'm going back in October just before I send off my UCAS application. Mainly to get to know the place and people there.
    The location is also brilliant, with most of my family living under an hour away and Norwich is just a perfect city.
    I'm just scared I'll get rejected or my personal statement will be ****. :s

    If you're so worried, then why not apply to more then 1 uni? It can't hurt to have a back-up plan, can it?

    Have you thought about posting your Personal Statement on the P.S part of TSR? They're really helpful and can give you some great pointers at where you could make it better!

    Does UEA have a MUN or Lib Dem society? I can't them on their ClubSoc site.

    After some google searches I came across this

    http://www.freewebs.com/uealibdems/

    So there is a Lib Dem Society but there not on the club soc.

    Didn't find a MUN though so if I do go to UEA. I'll find a way to set one up, unless someone's already beaten me to it.

    If you have a look on that website its from 2006, certainly this academic year gone the Lib Dem Society was inactive.

    UEA is the only university I'm applying to this year too . But I'm applying for 2 or 3 courses - just to have fingers in more than one pie of the same flavour so to speak I'm personally applying to both chemistry & pharmacy, so maybe something to consider is applying for 2 or 3 courses within the same uni

    That's a great idea. I would apply to more than one uni, however UEA is the only Uni I want to go to so if I didn't get in, I wouldn't go to university aha.
    Good luck in getting in! xx

    I'm the same! Ha. I applied to more than one last year (2 courses at UEA though) & really regretted it (not only was I skint because of petrol etc but I just didn't like any of them like I loved UEA) so this year I decided that no matter what, I was going to apply to the UEA & if I don't get in... well I'll worry about that this time next year!

    Not to my knowledge. Though they may offer silly modules but they offer generally a high standard of courses, no Comedy or Harry Potter Studies. Though I think there might be societies for both of those things, but that isn't what you asked
    ive not heard of any full courses that are "silly" but there are a few units, the only one that i can think of atm is witchcraft (basicaly a history module focusing on witchcraft as far as i know)

    Haha If I go, I want to join the assassin soc
    the assassins are a realy nice group of people and we have regular games and mini games, last year they aimed to have a game then a week or 2 off then start another game. i look forward to seeing you (if you get in) and stabbing you in the back with a pen or whipping you with a death jumper (yes this was a real weapon that killed me, my first death last year) i would spend some time on the assassins soc mart stand if i wasnt too busy with the deviant (rock and alt music soc) stand

    I'm pretty happy... :woo: got 2 A's and a B (geog) but was only 2 marks off an A and all with a really useless man who sits at the front (nice guy but I can't call him a teacher since he never teaches, just shows us dvds... ) so am planning to resit Geog2...

    How did everyone else do?

    I got BBBb with full ums in A2 general :awesome: (7 ums overall off an A) 87+75 in econ4+2 (resitting econ3 to get an A) and 1 raw mark off of an a in biology.

    (A lot better than I expected given the lead up to+ during exams)
