Engineering Applicants 2013 entry

That may be true if you find an apartment near the town centres. However when I looked up in the prospects the range of prices for the accommodation in campus was £75-£150. So I think its quite reasonably priced compared to unis in London such as imperial (this is one of my options to study at).

Can take the train? What was your fav one out of the ones so far? in terms of everything place and feel

That was my plan :P Bit awkward carrying all your stuff though... My favourite was probably Bath, it's quite a nice place and the engineering department looks brilliant The only downside was that the uni's at the top of a massive hill, whereas the city centre is at the bottom...

the requirements for bath are A*AA
What did you get for your AS results(in what subjects)

I know, but I'm gonna apply even though it's higher than my predicted grades, just in case they accept me anyway :L My results were ABBB in further maths, maths, physics and chemistry. I screwed up C1 and C2 which meant I did better in further maths than normal maths, but my teacher says she'll still predict me an A anyway. I'm dropping chemistry for this year, and my predicted grades for the other subjects are (I think) all A's What about you?

What were your AS grades?

The entry requirements for Imperial are insane, higher than Cambridge! I haven't looked at the other unis much, but then a London uni doesn't really appeal to me :P Have you visited Southampton? If so, what was it like? It's a bit too far for me to visit, but if people keep saying it's good I might go and have a look anyway

Is UCL not a good choice? It's good overall, is it not that good at mechanical engineering then?

Im currently considering:
Bath
Bristol
Southampton
Surrey
Sussex

anyone else?

Those are mostly the exact same universities I am applying too however instead of sussex, i m applying to Notthingham. By the way which cource are you applying to

Yeah I wasnt really sure on sussex, still not 100 % on it, but i dont really want to travel very far north. Also sussex as lower entry grades, so if all goes wrong i have a backup.

Which course? other than mechanical engineering, im not sure what you mean

I'm considering Southampton, but their entry requirements are AAA and I've been predicted AAB in Maths, Chemistry and Physics respectively. But I'm quite annoyed at that as I was only 1 UMS off and A in physics and I'm going to resit one of the exams, yet my teacher really does not want me to be predicted an A. However he has said that If I really need it he will push it up to an A. Sorry to ramble on but it really bugs me how he doesn't have any confidence in my abilities despite me getting 90% in the first physics module.

90% :O whats is your method of revision for physics?

Just a quick tip, make sure you check both UCAS and the universities' websites to make sure that the entry requirements are the same, they can change and not update on UCAS. Also, is anyone thinking of applying to Cambridge/Imperial for mechanical engineering or just engineering in general?
