    I know its so bad waiting, I'm just worried all the good accommodation will be gone because I live in Northern Ireland so I would definitely need to move lol! I think I did ok, I think I remembered everything to say but I kind of rushed through my portfolio, how about you? What date was your interview on?

    Ah yeah I know what you mean - I'm in Scotland, so I would be moving too!
    Did they ask you any questions in your interview?
    I'm not really sure. I was in a group with 4 other girls who all mentioned these media related projects they've been involved in. Whereas I've done textile design for the past 3 years, so all of my portfolio was about my design background.
    I really don't know how it went if I'm honest!

    ahh very good, yea I just hope I get in, would really love to go to Northumbria. No I didn't get asked any questions at all, we just presented our portfolios and then went on a very quick tour. Yea I was in a group with 5 other girls, my portfolio was more media based aswell as I'm interested in PR and not so much the textile or design area, plus I cant draw lol! I'm not sure either, I just hope I did enough! oh mine was on the 16th at 1

    I didn't get asked any questions either; even though the email/website said to prepare to be asked some ?
    Yeah I used to be interested in the design part, now I want to be a magazine editor, so that's why I applied to this course.
    Where else have you applied for?

    Yea, I was all prepared for questions because it did say on the website that our course didnt require our portfolios to be presented, luckily I was prepared in the end! I applied for huddersfield fashion communication and promotion and got an offer and I've applied for courses in Northern Ireland aswell, you?

    I had my interview on the 17th Feb, and still not heard back yet it's the only one I'm waiting on now so it's really annoying that they seem to be taking so long!
    Especially when they told us we'd hear within a week, and according to somebody who already does the course, who asked them, they made there mind up about everyone 3 weeks ago, don't think it really looks good on the uni that they're being so un-organised
