I am! I'm super excited too, really can't wait to go; I'm counting down the weeks! Not so far for myself to travel though - I'm a Scottish student. :smile:

I can practically see the area across the sea, it would be so quick to get there if it wasn't for having drive around the coast...!

Management. Most of my friends are going for more artistic subjects (film, art, music, digital design etc) so it's a bit different from them. Do you know anybody else who applied/got offers? I have to idea how common it is for other countries to apply for universities outside that country. Even here I only know a small number of people from my school who applied for St A's and so far I've only heard of rejections... I feel a bit luckier every day for having been accepted, I originally applied with the mindset of "I'd love to go, but it's probably a long shot."

Management - is that an MA? Going abroad isn´t exactly normal in DK, but I attend an IB school, so there´s a good share of students going to the UK. Still, I don´t know anyone else applying to St A (in IRL). Did any of your friends get in? :smile:

Hi

Yes, it is. That's pretty interesting - at least in my school, only a small handful either go down to England to over to America; since we have free tuition here it's pretty desirable to stay in the country. An old childhood friend got in for Economics, but it's his second choice I think. None of my close friends applied for St A, but a couple applied for Dundee so if they get offers for there they won't be too far away. Some people are put off applying just because of the place anyway. It's really similar to where I live now (smaller sized coastal town with lots of golf!) so it isn't so much of a change of scene.

We have free tuition in DK as well (around 10 countries in the EU offer free undergrads for EU students), some of my classmates are willing to pay anyway. I don´t really get why (except for Oxbridge perhaps). In my year of 50 students we have people going to countries in three different continents (many of us chose IB to study abroad). Why would one put St A off due to the place? The place is one of the (many) reasons that I want to go.

I think some people would just prefer to be somewhere a bit more lively, or there's just the people who prefer the city. Things like not having a train station in the town and no abundance of clubs are apparently important factors for some. I'm totally in agreement with you too though, the place is definitely one of the reasons I want to go too! :smile:

It was lovely when I went to visit, it felt very homely to me.

I guess that makes sense tat some people will prefer a bigger city. I have only been there once (mid-April last year), as I have to take a plane to get there, but it seemed to be my kind of city :smile:

Congratulations to all have received offers! :smile:

I'm still waiting to hear about Mediaeval History. Has anyone else heard from the History department?

That's great! It's good that you were able to visit too. I'm heading up for the second time on April 1st to look at accommodation and just too look around the place a bit more.

Yeah, I´m glad I´ve actually seen the city :smile:

Do you know what kind of accommodation you would prefer?
