We had to take the sleeper from london on a Friday night, nearly £400 for two of us, we got £75 reimbursement from uni. We only went because I was pretty certain I wanted to go there and the visit decided it for me. Just got 2 offers for marine biology and marine biology with study abroad, so it was worth it


Wow congrats, certainly worth it! :smile: I really want to go but travels costs are a big issue :frown:

Hi!
Got two offers: Geography and Geology!
What applicant days are people looking at? Mine are the 14/28th of Feb or the 14th March :smile:
I'm not going to the applicant day as I already went to the open days, but if anyone goes for the English one then please feel free to post on here about it as it'd be really useful to hear your experiences :smile:
Im not applying but i live very near the campus, i have another 2 years before i go to uni myself so if anyone wants to be shown round the local area or settle in i can lend a hand :smile:

That's really kind of you, thank you! Luckily I've been to Falmouth a fair few times, so if I do live there I'll probably be ok. It can be quite daunting moving to a new place though, especially if you're unfamiliar with it! Nice to see helpful locals on here :smile:

Hey guys, congrats on your offers! Just wondered how long it took for them to come through?

Thank you! It is really annoying, but when you get the last offer you'll feel so relieved 😁 I expect that Cardiff has loaaadddsss of applications

Application has finally gone! :biggrin:

The only thing I'm bothered about is the train prices tbh!


You can always hitchhike if the train prices send your budget of the tracks :biggrin:It seems like everyone is coming from somewhere on the other side of the country. By bus two weeks ago it took me over 10 hours with stops in Birmingham and Bristol.

I have an offer from Cardiff for Geology next year, it is just Exeter that I am waiting on now. Cardiff got back to me after one week of applying. When did you apply? And how long did it take you to hear back from Exeter?

Looking at train prices for applicant visit day and wasn't expecting train prices to be £200+ :O


Myself I never use trains. If you do not mind travelling by coach, National Express are pretty good and booking in advance, you could get a return from, say, northern England to Exeter for somewhere in the region of £50. Last month I went from Preston to Plymouth one-way for only £9 because I booked 2 weeks ahead and as part of a November deal. Still, you can find good deals if you just book ahead. Actually, I think bus travel is more fun as you get to see more and there are breaks along the way, though it takes longer.

I applied for English and sent my application off around 4th Nov and got most of my offers within the next week, so maybe I was just lucky that everyone replied so quick! Cardiff apparently leave it late with applications a lot though, so I'm not too concerned there. Hope you hear back from Exeter soon! :biggrin:

Thanks, I hope so too :biggrin: I sent my application on 14th Nov and heard back from Glasgow 3 days later and the day I applied was a Friday. I just want to hear back from them quite badly as I really like their Geology degree programme. Would you consider an offer from Cardiff over Exeter, or do you have a particular university in mind?

I liked Cardiff but I think I'd go with Exeter. It's between Nottingham and Exeter for me now, but the thought of living in Cornwall is very tempting! :biggrin: The longer Cardiff take to reply though, the longer I have to respond to my offers, which is quite good in a way!
