Which university is better?

I think at university level it gets a lot better, because all the papers are marked internally by professors, rather than externally by people who don't really know the subject following a list of criteria.

Yehh I am pretty keen

And no, not really. I watch the world cup and that's about it, I'm afraid

Oh cool! I just hope exams won't be too complicated for me, especially cos I get serious exam anxiety. I think 90% of my bad grades are based on that. haha!
Any beforehand advice you have for me to avoid that? :P

Good for you! The world needs people like you, my friend.

Aw, really? I guess the stereotype of all English people are football crazed is invalid then, huh? I'm actually football crazy, I root for both Chelsea and Norwich City!

There's a train station next to campus? :P

Awesome! I'm glad everything is found on campus. I just always worry about food and supplies. Thanks a lot for the reassurance!

Hmm I dunno, I've always been pretty nonchalant before exams haha. I guess just make sure you start revising as early as possible and that you get enough sleep, especially the night before. Just try not to think about what could go wrong I guess. There's probably dozens of threads on this forum which talk about that kind of stuff, have a look

Haha I know plenty of people who really are pretty football crazy. I just never really got into it, for whatever reason. find it pretty boring. Don't mind kicking a ball around every so often, though. I'm not very good haha

When are you supposed to hear from Sheffield, btw?

What do you mean?

I mean, you said you already applied to Sheffield, right? If so, when are you expected to know their decision regarding your application?

They've given me an offer but it's conditional on me getting the grades, which won't come out until mid August.

Oh, ok! Will you have enough time to prepare for the start of your course this September?

Nottingham, Southampton, Warwick, Newcastle are all post WW2 with the latter 2 in the 60's.

RG is based mostly on SIZE, ie. the no. of students you got.

Is anyone really sure this is a good thing ?

Would you rather share facilities with 25000 - 40000 other students or 20000 or even less than 10000 ?

Remember the more people there are, the more it eats into your VALUE FOR MONEY. and we all know how much education costs these days.

I would only put up with that for the top 6 of so uni's , apart from that to me pure size is a DIS-advantage.

Well yeh, I think I'll have to go on the assumption that I've got the place (presuming I feel like the exams have gone well) and start some pre-reading early on. But there is something like a month between results and the start of the course, so i think it will be ok. There won't be that much I have to do before hand.

Btw, I got an email from Southampton yesterday informing me of my unsuccessful application. haha. So yeah, I'm officially now going for UEA!

Aw, thanks. I'm not too bothered about it, cos honestly I never really liked Southampton. And yep! UEA is perfect! And I have you to thank for making me love it and eventually settle on it.

Can I ask you why you didn't like Soton ? You can PM if you like
