University of Hertfordshire applicants 2013

Hey well done on the offer! I was just wondering what grades you got for AS and what are you predicted?

Last year I got a B in English Lit, B in Psychology, D in Biology and E in CHemistry. I dropped chemistry this year and am resitting the EMPA coursework in Biology

I'm predicted BBC - but one thing that worries me is that Surrey wants BBB and they gave me an interview anyway... could that mean before I go to the interview, I'm already rejected???

What about you?

Hey just to let people know I live almost right next to the Uni so if you have any questions about the local area or anything let me know :-) happy to help

Hi there! I have an offer and I was wondering - what is the shopping like? x

I applied to do Adult Nursing and had the interview there two weeks ago. Then I got a conditional a week later! So happy!!! I love the uni because it's very rural, couple hours from home and London is less than an hour away! I'm thinking of putting Herts as my insurance choice as Brookes, Surrey and Nottingham have a higher entry requirement but who knows? I might get rejected by them!

I got rejected by Bucks New Uni the other night which really annoyed me but it didn't matter because I didn't like the campus and you won't get much student life there

Ahh right, when's your Surrey interview? Not necessarily no, if they gave you an interview they must see potential
I've had an offer from Surrey and Cardiff but I was recently rejected from Hertfordshire after an interview.. But I'm a little confused as to why I was (I don't mean to sound big headed) but I got offers from better uni's with higher grade boundaries, and I don't know why they rejected me because I was well prepared and all the other people at my interview day weren't even keen on doing nursing which was really frustrating! :/

Hi Jsv3,

I would love to get an interview for here, hopefully will hear soon, was that for the bsc? thas great that it is so close to london, wanted somewhere aswell close to an airport as I'm from ireland so would make it that bit easier for me to get home and herts is only 40 mins direct to stansted so it's great my friend did the bsc adult nursing in herts and loved it i wonder are the holding interviews for the msc in adult nursing at different times than the bsc

It was for the Bsc, yes stansted isn't too far away so you'll be fine in terms of getting home when i had my interview there was one person who had an interview for the Msc so they don't have interviews at different times.

Why go to stansted if London Luton Airport is pretty much right next to Hatfield? :O, well it's a 20 min drive or so but stansted is more like a 60 min drive (depending on traffic as well cause you need to go over the M25 so yeah)

Just had a quick look on the easy jet website, they only fly to belfast from Luton not sure where exactly you are in ireland obviously!

If you guys have any questions feel free to ask! I graduated from Herts last year and now work there full-time XD they won't let me go!!!!!!

I just checked with ryanair there and I can fly from Luton to kerry airport which is only 5 mins from where i live so that would be great ,i would prob be getting the bus would it still take the same time haved looked up centrebus nd it says it takes an hour:O but im sure there are xpress ones thank you i will prob have so many questions later on

That's great! From Luton to Hatfield with a regular line bus takes about an hour yes, because it doesn't go over the motorway but goes through all the little places that are between Luton and Hatfield. With National express which is a direct bus from Luton to Hatfield it takes 20 min

Wow, that sounds so fun (the year abroad) and if you are really not sure about it why don't you go to an open day/visiter day?? XD Hertfordshire are the only uni that haven't replied to me yet *sniff* and they are my first choice ;3; it's only been 2 weeks granted...

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.

Oh! I want to ask you something! :P haha well what did you study? that's so cool that you work there now! congrats!

Can you please tell me what's up with the study abroad options? are the places they offer really some that you can go to with any subject? I've emailed the international office twice and they haven't replied So if you could please give me this information it would be much appreciated!
