    Getting away and living in a big ass city. I freaking hate my horrible, narrow-minded little town.
    Yeah I can't wait to get away, my first choice is Leeds I think or Northumbria, so they're massive cities

    Remember that along with the freedom comes the responsibility of making sure you do your coursework, getting to class on time, eating right, not drinking too much the night before an exam, etc. etc. I had to learn this the hard way.

    Just been to the open day at nottingham uni and I must say it was better than I thought it was gonna be! Although I wasn't wowed by the lectures, the campus (and the women) were gorgeous.

    I'm most looking forward to:
    -Gaining independance
    -Meeting more people who are on my wavelength, and really care about their studies
    -Meeting a whole bunch of girls (taking the sciences route swerved me away from most of the girls, who to be honest don't seem that friend-worthy anyway! It's a shock to see so many pretty girls who are going to be reading a science course at uni, can't wait hahaha p.s. ladies if you care about your studies and are successful, you will appear more attractive).

    -Dear person who negged me- Just what exactly in my post deserves a negative vote? Some TSR users are so uptight.

    Yeah, Leeds is a big city I'm moving to Glasgow so I'll finally be able to walk down the high street without getting stared at. People in my town kinda view me as a goth. I'm not really goth and I don't see myself that way, I just like wearing a lot of black. It's not my fault they choose to label me.

    EDIT: Negative rep? COME AT ME BRO!

    Norwich is one of my options, I think. I've never been, what's it like?
    I live in Durham which is a small city, is it kind of similar to that? Many people have said that
    I live in Norwich and can confirm that it is wonderful! The city of dreams.

    Having said that, I'm moving away for uni

    wow not need to take it so bad. But it's true, it doesn't matter what you tell them now, they'll do whatever they feel, because they already know what they "should" do ^^

    Good choice. :love:

    Small, cute, lots of little side streets and quirky shops. Fairly quiet, at least the parts I visited. And now I get the joy of spamming TSR with loads of pictures of Norwich (I do what I want )

    See what I mean about a love affair? It looks even nicer in reality, and when I looked round Norwich it was grey and drizzly so that gives you a good idea of how nice it is. Gets a darn sight more sun that I do. North of Scotland, bleugh.


    Never been to Durham but I guess they're quite similar in that neither of them are huge cities, they're both quite little, which I love.

    Can't wait to be with people as interested in their studies as i am but also want to have fun. Funny enough i am actually moving out of London and so i am worried about adopting to the new small town life.

    Being able to eat what I want when I want.
    Whilst this seems great at the time, before you know it you've completed 2 years of university and have gained 2 and a half stone and have to spend your whole Summer getting back into shape because you were too lazy and couldn't say no to that greasy chicken kebab and chips.

    ...not that that happened to me or anything.
