Hi Mmmyummy.
I applied to Exeter, Essex, Kent, East Anglia, Lancaster and Hull. I chose Hull for a number of reasons. I'm on a gap year at the moment and so have been fortunate enough to see how my friends are enjoying uni. All of them love it, but the ones that are having the best time are those that a) LOVE their course and b) have found the people at their uni to be friendly and welcoming. What struck me about Hull over some of the other choices was the atmosphere - everyone i met was chatty and made an effort to talk to you. Its also been voted friendliest uni in the country and my primary concern when choosing a uni was finding somewhere that i know i'll have a good time at and meet some lovely people.
In terms of the course, Drama at Hull is quite adaptable, you can to a certain extent mould it to a course reflecting your preferences. Plus its obvious that the people already on the course thoroughly enjoy it and its really up and coming.
I do remember talking to you about it, are you applying in September? Where are you looking to apply to?
