Architecture Applicants 2013!

If I may cut in. The more you delay the more likely that they will say no. Over another issue , to a another university, I called, got my clarification and asked for an email. Which they were happy to send.

i agree! Some uni sometimes could take up to 2-3 weeks to reply an email, whereas a phone would sort everything out in a day )

Rejection from UCL already and I'm gutted about Edinburgh, safe to say I had my heart set on it and im going to inquire for a reason why, Looks like its Oxford Brookes! See whoever at the applicant day next week, oh god I hope I like it!

I will phone them up very soon, I just want the security of having it in writing from them incase there is any confusion when I re-apply! thank you for everyone's opinions

Good luckkkk!! Keep us updating

I have not yet chosen my firm.
I know that it will be between Nottingham and Newcastle but I really don't know where to choose.
Does anyone just have some ideas of positive and negative points of the course, location, cost, galleries, accommodation, landscape, academia, teaching etc.
Even if you think it is silly

not got a clue about Nottingham, but Newcastle has a large population of students (and therefore, apparently, an amazing night life) as well as not being too expensive. The city itself isn't huge as every thing's tightly packed so easy to walk to (may not be for everyone i guess but it's one thing I loved about it). From what I gathered there was plenty of decent accommodation for a reasonable price I'm reasonably sure they mentioned they have day trips to Durham on the course too, which isn't too far.

ummmm, I think that's all I can think of, I really liked Newcastle, the course seemed really good and the people were lovely, but I won't get AAA So now I'm torn between Oxford Brookes and Northumbria, but i'm swerving towards Northumbria

Thank you
Yes, cost is something which really matters to me, when I compare prices there is a substantial difference :/

Everything on paper seems to be pointing to Nottingham: longer course (Meng), free materials, closer to London, close links with international universities to take out a year, slightly higher in rankings, my best friend and boyfriend said that in 2014 when they go to university they will wanna go to London.

But I got a weird feeling when I went to Nottingham and I felt really good when I went to Newcastle, it felt right.

Maybe it is because Newcastle is more north and more like murky (H)ull a bit more. I don't like the idea of boring constructed landscapes.
I liked the idea of Newcastle being right next to the art department and the lecturer was very insightful compared to the others which was not what I wanted architecture to be about.

You should follow your gut feeling. Newcastle is a train ride away from London, just like Nottingham is, so I wouldn't make "distance to London" a decisive factor. From what you've said you sound like you'd be happier at Newcastle
