Hellooo, I'm doing History this year! Staying in Mary Gee. If anyone hasn't got it yet, the history department sent an email about inductions to the student email account which had reading lists and information about what goes on in the induction :smile: can't wait to start now!!
And I studied A level History, but I bet you'll have the right support to get you through. I think in first year they aim to get all the freshers to the same academic level before they begin all the really complicated work! If they let you on the course then they think you're capable enough to handle it :smile:

Thanks, found the email. I'm trying to login but it's saying username or password is incorrect, and I know for a fact that neither is incorrect

Hey Im doing history with american studies, in stoughton leys house which is really cheap but its on the edge of the student village


It's on the far edge. At least the sports hall is on your doorstep. I use to live in Fields which is two houses over. You'll end up getting into a fun turf war with Bredon no doubt.

Just a warning, the admin in history can be shocking at times!
