well within the last few hours i decided i wasn't sure i wanted to go to portsmouth anymore because the city itself seems abit small and not much really goes on there, so i decided that maybe i should also consider putting down bradford instead until i read the comments on this thread lol. Is narrowing it down to 6 proving to be difficult for everyone else? Or am I just being overly scrutinous?
I was also wondering if anyone knows whether Bradford's 5 year programme offers 6 months in community and the other 6 in hospital?

bradford,ljmu,portsmouth, brighton and sunderland are all super crap. The best are LSOP, kings, bath, nottingham, manchester, cardiff, and aston ( not necessarily in that order).
I admit that some of them are certainly below par but saying that they are all super crap is abit over the top. Sure they're not as good as the latter unis but I know for a fact that Portsmouth for example has a decent pharmacy department, even though the uni itself has a pretty pants reputation. Besides, not everyone can end up at the best unis so you have to be wise about your choices just in case.

The three people I know who are either at or have recently left bradford all did 6 months in community and 6 months in hospital. That is the big draw of bradford, you really get to experience the job before deciding which career to jump into.
pharmacy, unlike medicine and dentistry, isn't competitive. for medicine and dentistry, ANY UNI WILL DO, because they're pretigious degrees and professions, and are extremly competive to get into. pharmacy isn't as competive, so a pharmacy applicant should aim to get into the top pharmacy schools; i.e. one of the seven that i mentioned above.
Uuuh Manchester were having a new pharmacy building when I went for my interview ... in 2002!!!

I just might 
Where are you applying to apart from Manchester?
Where are you applying to apart from Manchester?
Nottingham, Manchester, LSOP, LJMU and Bradford (it's the closest city to me that does it, and tbh it isn't very high grades so it's kinda of a safety net, if u get what i mean) and possibly aston, still a bit undecided on that one.

Well not really when they told us (starting in 2003) that we'd probably be the first to use it ... and they're still doing it?

why did you apply to dmu??. its like really crap isnt it. Im not sure how portsmouth and ljmu are middlish unis really. With my as levels of bcdd which 1 top uni do u tink i would have a small chance of getting into.
When I applied it wasn't really that bad ... none of this stuff with exam fixing had gone on and it was pretty much the same as ljmu or bradford. Plus I needed a sure fire back up plan if nobody else gave me offers
... and I wasn't spoilt with as much choice as you guys when I applied!
Brighton = The MOST amazing city ever, you will LOVE it here.
Cardiff = Go there because I'm going to! The city was good.
Sunderland = Didn't even know there was a university there
Bradford = Seems alright
LJMU = Liverpool rocks!
Very helpful advice huh?
Basically visit! I was going to go to Bath university for definite until I visited Cardiff! So you never know...

whats the differecne between someone who gets a degree in ljmu and one in cardiff u ****
There really is no difference between the degrees, but there is a difference between resources, teaching quality, the campus and relationship with major pharmaceutical companies.
