Probably not :frown:

I would have i gone if i had already moved down there (we originally was going to move in on the 1st but were told we couldn't!). But because i wont already be in derby, i wont be able to get there, as its on a week day so my parents are at work :/

Are you going then? :smile:

Oh right, shame. Yes, i'm probably going to be going because I am able to get there. I'll be getting the bus there, like i will be everyday. I was considering driving, but found out in the long term a bus will work out ALOT cheaper! :smile:

Wow, that's surprising! I know a few people who are also going to be using public transport to get to uni (although not derby) and it works out more expensive- they just cant drive yet!
I had a look what it would cost me (baring in mind i only live about 45 mins - an hour away) in case i couldn't find a house, and it would cost £20 a day! Which i thought was expensive since my rent for the week is only £54!

Haha! Wow! That's ridiculous! For me it only works out at £2 a day there and back. Not bad i suppose. :smile:

£2.00 a day? do you not have to get two buses with you living in Burton? one to derby city centre and then one to the uni? I am just interested in this costing as i would assume it would have worked out more expensive?

Yeah, there are 2 buses but the second, which is a shuttle bus to the uni is free :smile:

Think it's only free if you get the park and ride, I have to pay about £1.60 from Uni to town? Don't know about any free bus? :confused:

I'm applying for Primary Education in 2013 and University of Derby is one of my choices.. Just wondering if anyone on here studied the CACHE Level 3 Diploma in Childcare and Education (or equivilent) and managed to get a place? How is the University as a whole? Does anyone commute from the nearby areas (I live in the East Midlands). Thankkkkks :smile:

The day starts off with an English, Maths and Science test, which basically tests your knowledge in the subjects.

Heyhey how goes your course? :smile:

Do you mind if I ask what the tests entail, especially Maths - did it have algebra and graphs? If so, I need some srious revision :P did Science include all three of the main subjects, and did it include Environmental?
