Electrical and Electronic Engineering

What engineering course are you doing ?

[id92]

Mechanical engineering, was hoping to hear from some others doing it or aerospace/motorsport. No offence just electrical and mechanical are very different

[Abaraka]

No problem !
At least we are in the same department

I have it as my insurance in aerospace might end up coming here after my maths exam :P

[jslee]

Im going to studying aeronautical engineering

[A_monty]

Aerospace engineering as my insurance but will most probably come to UWE as I really don't think i've got into my first choice.

[jslee]

what was your first choice? have u applied for accommodation yet?

Leicester, Nope can't apply for accommodation until I fully accept UWE after results day annoyingly. UWE your first choice?

[id92]

I applied to Leicester last year but messed up my physics, so took UWE, as my backup i couldnt find any accommodation though, at all, so had to defer to this year and take the higher tuition fees :/

[A_monty]

yeah physics is difficult. Really? Thats what i'm worried about, there's going to be no accommodation anywhere. Applying on results day....bit last minute.

[jslee]

well good luck, I'm sure u will get a course, just accommodation that will be hard. uwe was my first choice btw

Yeah i missed the grade my 2% but hey ho its the past, don't try to apply for frenchay because it will be gone, ask them if you can go anywhere that isn't normally engineering like fishponds, but id probably get straight onto the private accommodation in Bristol as it sells out fast!

Anyway be positive and hope you get into Leicester because its a really nice uni, the engineering building is insane, i.m guessing you've been to see it?

[A_monty]

I'm surprised they didn't take you with only 2% off, were your other grades okay? Yeah i've been looking at fishponds area, its only a short walk from frenchay so its not too bad. The problem with private accommodation is there's hardly any near the campus, majority of it is all in the city center, however if that's all there is its better than nothing.
Yeah I was really impressed with Leicester, nice uni and really good facilities. Plus the accommodation is a far cheaper.
