    As someone from Edinburgh, great city, but after 17 years I think I need to move >.<

    I also went down for a summer school at Birmingham Uni which was soooo much nicer than either Glasgow or Edinburgh, I loved it there. But I'd rather not have to pay the fees! xD Maybe I'll do a PG there...
    That's so strange, because I live really close to Birmingham uni and I've been past/through it a couple of times and I really didn't like it, but my cousin went there to study English Literature and said it was nice. :-)

    It says the same for Hispanic Studies as AAAB for unconditional and I got AAAAB! Happy days!

    Looking forward to the open day on 5th sept, I hope it lives up to the idea I have in my head, right now Glasgow is my first choice and I hope it stays that way

    The Kelvin Building (Physics) is really ugly on the outside but quite snazzy on the inside.

    I'm hoping to study law and history, not sure if my grades this year will make the cut though I'm currently studying Modern Studies, English, History and Latin. Hopefully, since three of them are Advanced Highers the grades required from this year may be lower. Hopefully...

    Why're you doing an extra subject? An offer will probably just be based on the AH's.

    In our school all sixth years are required to take a minimum of four subjects and Modern Studies seemed the most logical fourth subject.
