Good choice.

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 )

Spoiler:

Show

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.

What's the nightlife like?

And here's some pics of durham it's a nice place to live But Durham Uni don't do design so I am moving away in 2013

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.

Haha, that's true. I have no willpower and always gain weight during study leave. Can't help myself. Uni is going to destroy me, I only know how to bake cakes and make marzipan.

No idea, don't start until September this year. I'll let you know though (if I can sneak under the radar as a cheeky 17 year old ) It is really nice. If Durham started doing a pharmacy course this year rather than next I would've applied there. But yeah, Norwich is a really nice city.

You don't realise you're gaining weight, it creeps up on you. I'd go through a whole pack of biscuits in one sitting easily, as well as massive family bags of crisps... and I did no exercise for 2 years. I'm quite tall so didn't realise how much weight I'd gained cos' I still looked skinny but had a massive belly. It makes you feel constantly tired and I have terrible skin cos' of it.

...I'm a barrell of laughs here Just a word of warning though.

lulz, I say all this but I'll probably be back to my kebabs in September!

Oh yeah, I can cook pasta as well. And toast, and poached eggs, and maybe rice at a push. That'll do. I'll live on that.

I'm going in September!! Excited is not the word

- Living away from home and meeting new people.
- Joining clubs and societies.
- Studying a subject I enjoy and really want to study.
- Learning to cook

[Surfing_the_shine]

I cant wait to study all things nursing , joining societies, making new friends and oddly becoming more responsible

Oh yes toast, I can make toast. As long as I have a huge pot of peanut butter I will survive.

I live in Norwich and can confirm that it is wonderful! The city of dreams.

Having said that, I'm moving away for uni

Ah, nice :-) I may visit the open day is sept/oct

[Trailblazer]

To transcend the surly bonds of my boring, stifling suburban existence by moving to a big city.

The societies, the friends, the academic stuff.

The sex

[saachi]

Meeting new people. Getting out of the stupid city I live in. Joining societies, being friends with like minded people, studying what I love, kicking Math and French out of my life forever

[Benniboi1]

Meeting people that are like me and getting to meet some properly clever people

I know exactly what you mean, its a pretty valid reason to look forward to university, especially if you go to a comprehensive.

December.

Same here. Basically live on peanut butter anyway.

Sorry for hi-jacking this conversation but I just wanted to say that the nightlife in Norwich is actually very good for a relatively quiet/small city. I live there and there are loads of great, unique pubs and bars and a few decent big clubs too (although I can't say I go to those much). I actually go to uni in Durham (should probably say went - have just graduated!) and the nightlife in Norwich is definitely superior!

Also would just like to add to the love for Norwich in this thread - I may be biased but it is a truly awesome city.
