Geography applicants for 2013 entry

There's two of us now which means I can safely say Reading is the greatest place on the earth to find geographers.

Well I'm from Reading and my idea of northern is anywhere past Luton
Yeah those are the five, I wanted LSE for the prestige but someone talked sense into me and I went for the favourite five. I wish I'd looked at Newcastle, it's just so far away from home and I was missing so many days of college, same reason why I didn't get a chance to look at Durham (And the open day was the same days as Bristol's which I didn't particularly like that much). I'd be fine at any college I end up to be honest, don't mind living outside town, small or big is fine, as is old or new. My friend talked up how awesome living in a castle would be though, hence my application. Bet their quidditch society is INSANE.

Which Cambridge college did you choose out of interest?

I chose Clare! How about you? I'm getting really... impatient? because when my friend applied {to Corpus for Theology though} within a couple of days they sent her all of the information about what work to submit and also loads of forms about data protection and stuff? All on top of her SAQ, which she hasn't submitted yet. I submitted mine a week or two ago and still nothing about what kind of work they'd want me to send in, and I'm not very good at being patient xD

I can say that there are at least thirty geographers just in my year at my school, so we must be a huge hotspot of geographical minds

Nice, I know so many people who are at or have applied there! I'm going for Trinity Hall, next door neighbours I only got the SAQ, which came through the day after, when I applied. I assume once I send that off the college will get in touch with me about which forms I need but it probably varies from college to college, perhaps Corpus are just quick this year!

I'm tempted to make a joke about mantle plumes but I can't bring myself to that level! I think it reflects badly on the town as so many people desperate to study other places

Looks like I'm going to buck the trend here guys. At my sixth form we've only got 3 geography applicants (out of 150!)

I swear everyone wants to do medicine or one of the sciences/engineering?

Similar story with my sixth form! I'm the only geography applicant out of 150 students, everyone is doing Maths or physics!

Haha awesome, what made you go for Trinity Hall? I just chose Clare on the quality gardens and the fact that I didn't hear a bad word said about it - I went on a punt whilst I was there and the guy {although he went to Peterhouse} only said good things about it, plus I liked the location. On the river but quite secluded! And the majority of the accommodation is on the far side of the river so wouldn't have tourists round and about or much, or that was my reasoning at least...

The I bet the mantle plume joke would've gone down like a house on fire, in a geography thread like this But yeah I know what you mean...

Hey there fellow geographers! Thought since other subjects have done this, we should have our own thread
Fill this out so we can all get to know each other

I just loved the atmosphere the buildings, the location, everything really. I didn't like Emma very much and I was just wondering around and it was beautiful, the porters were so friendly! And I love the cheap modern accommodation too. Good luck with Clare
