    Won't tell you anything useful at all but you can usually find them in one or two of the ranking tables (which also aren't that useful)..

    I want to apply for dentistry at Leeds. Hopefully, I'll get the grades I want and survive the ukcat and interview are there any dentistry students here who can give me general advice about the course and what I should expect?

    Don't stop believing!

    Went on Friday, course looks pretty good. Don't know why but I didn't really like the city and area much, might have been due to the horrid weather.

    Probably still going to apply but not my first choice.

    The whole Business School looked kinda neat, heard about the rain yesterday but looked nice from what I saw today.

    You get a chance to do the whole tour of the Edge ? If so how was the upstairs gym ?
    Also which accom did you look at + what did you think ?

    What is your 1st choice ?

    Leeds is certainly on my radar, but mostly because it is one of few universities that do my course (Natural sciences) and certainly not a favourite atm.

    Yeah business school was actually one of the highlights, cool + modern building. Didn't do the tour or see the gym, wasn't there for a huge amount of time.

    Looked at Henry Price and Charles Morris, HP was average but CM was pretty nice.

    First choice is likely Warwick. How about you?
