Don't think they would expect you to travel all that way lol. What are you going to be studying.

Yeah they emailed me back so I know now to post them it instead :smile:

I'm doing Early Years Professional Practice and Leadership (provided my exams go well!) How about you? :smile:

I haven't seen anyone else on here saying they're doing the same course as me.

Yeah, I have my booklet although I must admit I haven't really looked at it yet, I've been knee deep in revision. Really nervous I'm not going to get in now! I think I'm just so excited that it's making me nervous I'll mess up... :P

Hi guys. Im a current student at Edge Hill and would be more than happy to answer any of your questions you still have about studying at Edge Hill :smile:

Hey, do you live in the Forest Court or know much about it? I have some questions about what is and isn't included and the website and accommodation documents aren't detailed at all...

Hey, yeah - they have a day where all the people looking for rented accommodation (ie all the people who didn't get halls) come in so you can find a few people to house or flat share with.
I don't think the case is you WON'T get halls, but you won't get priority (for example you wouldn't get priority over me as I live 300 miles away XD)

I'm about to go into my 2nd year at Edge Hill. I have a house in ormskirk which I don't want to live in anymore, for personal reasons I have to live at home this year. If anyone needs a house in ormskirk then please quote or message me. It's £90-95 a week including bills and is an en-suite room (with a bath!) It's sharing with 4 second year girls, all on teaching courses!

I have the same issue myself. I've applied for accommodation, but I live about 13 miles away. Edge Hill can help you find accommodation elsewhere if needs be, including giving you names of different companies who can help you. Also, there might be others who might ask if you want to rent a place with them. You can even find people on here who are looking for roommates. Edge Hill are also building new halls, and they might be ready for September, but that's not a guarantee.

Every student about to go on a TV/Film Production Course should listen to this
Hi if you are about to spend a lot of money on a TV/Film Production course you really should take a moment and listen to this BBC radio broadcast.

It's what they wont tell you on a uni open day - and is very insightful about future employment possibilities upon graduating. Just remember many are called - few are chosen.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01l7wqh

The basic thrust of it is this - whilst uni's will always tell you about the few successes on their courses (and of course there will always be some) they don't really fess up about how workers in the media are hired and the lack of a regular employment pattern once you are lucky enough to get in.

New research presented at the British Sociological Association's 2012 conference claimed that middle class people hoard job opportunities in the UK TV and film industry. In a pre- recorded interview from the conference, Professor Irena Grugulis, suggests to Laurie Taylor that working class people don't get these jobs because they don't have the right accents, clothes, backgrounds or friends. Indeed, it's hard to find an area of the economy where connections and contacts are more significant. But is this mainly due to structural changes in the industry rather than to class based prejudice? The media expert, Sir Peter Bazalgette and Professor of Sociology, Mike Savage, respond to this research and explore nepotism, networking and discrimination in the media world and beyond.

Remember you don't need a media degree to get into telly in the first place - in fact many companies prefer you to have a more intellectually rigorous qualification from a reputable uni rather than a former poly.

Do listen and consider it.

Going to be here from September, opted for it over Huddersfield in the end. Waiting on my accommodation, hoping I'm not lumped with the shared bathrooms.
