[Get Real]

I've just finished first year, fantastic course !

Hey I know how you feel it was such a tough choice! 'Superior Ensuite' sounds so posh but they looked really nice on the open day and I kinda want my own toilet haha. I guess it doesn't matter too much which college you go for, all of them are probably great Is your offer conditional or unconditional?

I'm a natural sciences student from grizedale, just finished first year.

Did 10 modules of biology/chemistry this year, so if you have any questions feel free to ask

[jennyfb]

I am

Completed a BTEC so have just had my offer changed to unconditional...

Havn't decided on a college yet, but I am living at home and commuting so won't be living there!

Hi Hazzypants,

If you dont mind me asking, how did you find the Biology modules difficulty wise? And was there much crossover with chemistry into biology modules? (The reason why I ask this is because I did a BTEC, not straight Biology/Chemistry A-levels!)
Many Thanks

The first year modules are pretty easy, the cross over between chemistry isnt much unless your doing biochemistry like me, at which point you had some chemistry modules. With a BTEC you'd be fine.

ps. Apologies im not Hazzypants ha

[charllysaur]

just offered a place on biological sciences with biomedicine through clearing, just waiting on confirmation

Hi
Well I didn't do biology a level either!and I got a 2.1 for first year. I did have chemistry a level which helped a lot but wasn't necessary. You'll maybe have to study a bit more than most other people but the chemistry especially is a lot of repeat of a level like protein structure and ionic bonding etc...
