    Hi!

    I’m going to be studying history. I’m looking at a superior ensuite in either Pendle or Cartmel.
    History and Cartmel College is a wonderful combination! You have good taste

    Heya! I've firmed Politics and IR as well! Since our major counts as 1, we can choose two minors in 1st year! I'm thinking of doing either 2 languages, or 1 language+ economics.
    Ah glad to hear another Pol/IR firmer Aaah I just checked the prospectus again and still can't decide two to minor in, definitely one will be Spanish though I love the language and possibly Business, might check out if they have Marketing or PR in particular however I'm not sure if that's a great combination with Pol and IR (?) :/

    What would you guys suggest?

    I've firmed Lanc for Media and Cultural Studies.
    Now I have a really hard time choosing what to minor in. I can't decide if I should choose something to contribute to my degree.. like Eng and Creative Writing or Film Studies.. or something that contrasts it. I'm very interested in a Biological or Biomedical degree but I don't think those can be taken as a minor. Ugh, I just can't figure out what courses can be chosen as minors..
    I'm having exactly the same problem!! I'm studying the same subject (well, hopefully!) and have no idea what to minor in either....

    Just firmed the Management dual-option. BBA (Study Abroad) and the Business Studies. BBA Course = AAA need, Business Studies = AAB needed. Got a politics re-sit on Monday, so if that goes well I should be getting on to the AAB course at least

    Anyoneelse firmed a course in the Management school?

    Which accomodation is closest to the business school lecture area? Preferably want to be staying somewhere where I can roll out of bed into trackies and into lectures if im hanging like hell haha.

    Hey! Yeah I firmed the BBA Management (study abroad) option too! You're the only other person in this thread who has done though.

    I'm thinking Grizedale since it's literally right next to the Management School, plus the option of a townhouse coupled with regular hog roasts kind of sealed the deal.

    I've firmed a conditional offer for Biological Sciences today... A bit off topic but I would appreciate it if anyone (parent-students etc) can provide any info - what is the preschool centre like?
    I have applied for my little one to attend from Oct 2012, and I'm trying to gather as much info as possible.:question:

    It looks nice from the outside, and judging from the large number of young children that can be seen with their parents on campus, I would speculate that it is quite good because otherwise I doubt they'd use it? Sorry I can't be more help

    Firmed Lancaster for Physics with particle physics and cosmology, but swapping to straight physics if I get there also I'm thinking of either Bowland (Upgraded Standard) or County (Superior Standard)
