studying at Sutton Bonington but living at St Peters Court?

heloooooooooooooooooooo there :smile: il b studying dietetics in september 2012 at nottingham, which is mainly based at the SB campus, but for first years they only provide halls that are catered for on campus which i didnt want, and i was thinking about applying for accomodation at st peters court, but just wanted to know how long the travel would be from st peters court to SB using hopper buses? and if maybe the travel will get in the way of enjoying the most of uni life/ studying?
i dont mind traveling up to an hour because i live in london at the moment so travel about an hour to get to uni at the moment
thanks!

I lived at SPC last year but my lectures were based on Uni Park. It would be quite a journey for you as you have to take the spc bus (free) to uni park which takes a good 10/15mins, and then get on the hopper to SB which will take around 45 mins (i think) so altogether your looking at an hour minimum.

Childrens nursing at KCL but there is definately not enough science involved for my liking cos im way too much of a geek like that :tongue: to b honest when i applied firsttime around i had done like no research on what i wanted to actualy do at uni...our school was kinda crap for helping u out so i applied for physiology, nursing and neuroscience back then (all at KCL) and i got offers for all of them but i love working with ppl so thought nursing wud b the best option...turns out i miss my science too :P

well doing the whole student nurse thing opened up my eyes in working alongside dietetians/physios/surgeons so gave me a real insight of what i felt like i was missing out on really (no disrespect to any nurses, i think they do an AMAZING job but im just a total science and food lover) so i got alot of experience from working with the dietetians in clinics, hospitals and out in the community and really felt like this is what i was born to do! :smile: sounds cheesy but gota be said :P

Ah nice! Sounds pretty good then! :smile: Yeah I know what you mean, when I did work experience in clinics, I was thinking how I could totally see myself being a dietitian x) Have you got an unconditional offer then? Or do you have to get a certain grade on your current course?
