    English & Creative writing!:)
    Hi all, is any one else doing this course?
    I'm really nervous, haha. About results day and uni...
    Also, since I was a fail with the whole uni thing (kept changing my mind), I applied late through Xtra, and I've never actually been to the campus or anything (I only live forty minutes away though.)Is it wise to visit the City North Campus in my own time to figure out where I'll need to be for freshers, lectures etc?
    I assume they'll explain stuff like that in freshers, but when is freshers exactly xD? Thanks

    Hi :3 I'm from Walsall. It's like two buses away A ten minute one into walsall town centre, then a 30-50 ish minute bus into Birmingham depending on the traffic . I wish I could drive, haha, And hopefully! I applied for that really late, too, and they haven't got back to me ( think they're waiting on my results) I put the Coppice as my first choice though, fingers crossed Oh, glad I'm not the only one! I go past it a lot when I go into Birmingham to shop, it scares me because it's so huge.
