Goldsmiths 2014 undergraduate Applicants - firmed

Hey, Just thought I'd start a thread for those of us who have applied and firmed our choice to start as undergraduates at Goldsmiths in 2014

maybe just leave a little thing about yourself and we can find out who's doing what and stuff!

Im ellie, 18, from IOW and have firmed my choice for BA Media and Communications, conditional offer of DDM. I haven't been to an offer holder day yet but will be going to the one on the 12th March and am hopefully looking to get into halls of residence (loring hall looks all right?). Im also super excited to move from a village to a city !

would be nice to hear from anyone else ^^

Ahh awesome its cool to see where everyone is coming from, It a bit of a daunting thought moving to a big city! Im going to an offer holder day on the 12th of March ( anyone else?)

Is that for unconditional offers?

I'm Mim, 18, from Surrey and I will hopefully be doing BA English with Creative Writing (ABB) in September, I also would like to be in Loring (swear everyone wants to go there?! sounds like the place to be ) I get quite obsessive over major decisions like this and have been to about 3 open days, 3 walk about tours, 1 interview, 1 lecture and one post offer day - will be going again on the 19th of March for the next post offer day Have actually fallen in love with the place and it's amazing location, the super friendly people and the creative vibe. However i'm actually quite irrationally nervous, mainly about making friends and what if no one likes me and I don't like anyone and I'm really lonely stuck in a city that eats people.


Jeeze louise I've written too much.

no i don't think so? i only have a conditional offer but am doing a btech so know i can definitely meet the conditions . I think the offer days are based on what subject you do

Hi my Name is Dega, I'm 19 and I'm from Italy nice to meet you
I will start BA politics in september ( hopefully)

Ahh awesome! I think its going to be wicked studying/ living with people from different countries. where I live is mainly all british people over the age of 65 so I am so looking forward to meeting new people from all over!

haha, well you sound like you've done enough research :P I wouldn't worry to much about not making friends, being in a big city, everyone feels the same and will be in the same boat ! I'm glad to hear other people are liking the place ( i haven't actually visited it yet ). I'd say i'm 20 % nervous and 80% super excited!

Hi everyone, I'm Izzi. I'm 17, but will be 18 when the term starts. I will be on the BA Design course. I'm currently living in Florida, and am very excited to make the move to London.

Wow florida thats awesome! it makes me wonder how people are hearing about goldsmiths ( i mean, i know its London and all but it must be a good thing if people from all over know the name right!?)

i bet its going to be a lot colder over here in the uk 0-o

I'm Parmz, 17 from the West Midlands doing psychology ... was a tough decision between that and fine art! So excited to move to London honestly cannot wait! I wanted to go to Loring Hall first but after looking at some threads and stuff I heard Surrey House Annexe was the best? I really loved the Student Castle option but I wanted to be in Halls for the first year

Also is anyone going tomorrow to the offer holder day? And has anyone received an email with information on what's happening, where to go and the times?

Hello, I'm Rebecca! I'm twenty, and am originally from the West Midlands, but have spent this last year in France. I've firmed my offer to study the integrated degree in English at Goldsmiths in September, and am so overwhelmingly, perhaps ever-so-slightly irrationally excited to finally be studying after a (somewhat extended) gap year! I was hoping to apply for accommodation at either Loring or Raymont Halls. I've read some really great things about Loring, but Raymont just looks so pretty. Does anyone know when the accommodation applications for 2014/15 will be able to be completed? I've scanned through Goldsmiths' website, but there only seems to be information available for last year's applicants, which isn't really too helpful. I wouldn't like to leave accommodation applications to the very last minute, and end up in some terrible flat on the other side of London...

But yes, this seems a great way to meet/chat with other applicants. It would be nice moving in in September, and actually knowing at least one other person at the university when I arrive!
