    Re: Royal Holloway Firmers - 2012
    The course you've applied for: English Literature with Creative Writing
    Offer status: Unconditional (technically I don't have the qualifications to study at an English university, but I was accepted anyway because of the strength of the writing samples I had to send in. I guess I'm lucky.)
    What are you most looking forward to about university? As an English lit major, I am a little too excited about the fact that I get to go to a school that looks like Hogwarts. My friends are jealous. And the experience of living and studying in a different country, of course.
    Where are you coming from? Amsterdam, the Netherlands
    Where you've applied to/applying for accommodation: Founders

    Hullo, after reading your post, I was wondering why don't you have the qualifications to study at an English University?
    Anyways, welcome to RH, look forward to see you there.
