University of Hertfordshire applicants 2013

I have applied for Astrophysics (2 weeks ago) and have not heard a single thing from them! Not even a confirmation email! I have recieved offers from Kent and Leicester. Is this normal?

Hey I didn't get a confirmation from them either, they just sent me my acceptance. So don't worry about it and 1 of my other uni's took about 3 weeks to reply. Have you checked your UCAS by the way?

Oh, lucky you.. I wish I get it soon after I send it too.. I'm sending it off monday morning
Congratulations! Is Hertfordshire your first choice or?

Yay! Got an offer from Hertfordshire today to study English Language & Communication with Media Cultures! I also applied to Huddersfield, Loughborough, Robert Gordon and Royal Holloway and I also got an offer from Huddersfield! Has anyone been to Hertfordshire? I really want to go because the course looks good and they do a year abroad in LA which I really want to do! The only thing is I've heard it is a little bit boring in location and there is not much to do It shouldn't be too bad since it's about an hour away from London and half an hour from Watford with a Gatecrashers, right? To be honest, where I come from it seems like an improvement because I hardly have anything where I live so it shouldn't be too bad... :P Also it's so close to Luton so it's easy to travel to where I live and back! Any advice? So stuck as to what should be my first choice :/

First interview tomorrow for physiotherapy O.O does anyone know what the numeracy and literacy test entails?

tests aren't too bad, just re look at some gcse maths! Like area and volume!! Also remember your units when answering.
Literacy isn't too bad either just make sure you read everything properly

i had an interview for nursing on the 14th so I'd imagine the tests would be similar????
Hope this helps

GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!

Thanks so much... I am so bad at maths its actually unbelievable - I wasn't blessed with a logical mind. Literacy should be a sitter though

I went to the open day the Sunday before last. I'll give you my impression of Herts (Sport and Exercise Science applicant who isn't into the clubbing scene). Hertfordshire is my top choice, by the way.

- de Hav and College Lane are close to each other but they still have a bus service that runs every 5-10 minutes between them. It's a 3 minute trip, very convenient.

- The Forum is the go-to place for socialising if you're not going out of town. It's located on the College Lane campus. There are also a lot of cafes and student lounges with wifi.

- It's easy to get to London like you said. I'll be meeting up with a friend at UCL every so often while I'm there.

- Each campus has its own large Learning Resources Centre, both of which are open 24/7 (literally). I love the idea of being able to study in a quiet building at 3am. Weird, I know.

- The Sports Village is pretty good. The gym is mostly cardio equipment with resistance machines near the front and a small free weights section at the back. They've got a couple squash courts, lots of badminton courts, basketball courts, a swimming pool, club rooms for several other sports... can't say I managed to see them all but I'll definitely be looking into them.

- Between the campuses is The Galleria, a large mall with everything from Subway to Sports Direct to Waterstones to Odeon.

- Food shopping won't be a problem with ASDA and ALDI and Tesco and other supermarkets in close proximity.

The de Hav accommodation and most of College Lane is really nice, but I'm leaning towards private accommodation straight away. I won't be able to bring my digital piano or drawing desk otherwise D:

Personally, it's my ideal environment. A quiet town, close to London, convenient coach service home and very nice sports facilities.
