Ahh cool! The zoology facilities did look really good at Cornwall, and I've heard loads of good stuff about the course :smile:

I'm not going on an offer holder day as Falmouth is a 5 hour trip for me and I've already been to two open days. It'd be nice to go, but the travel is really pricey! Are you going to one? :smile:

Hopefully, if I get an offer! I'm coming from about 7/8 hours away (north east) and that's the only thing putting me off at the minute :frown:

I don't know how far you have to travel yourself, but if you have long train journeys, do you find them ok? I'd have to travel up to Birmingham which involves about 3 changes and that's not something I'm very used to :P Also, was it easy to settle in? Thank you :biggrin:

It takes me about 5 1/2 hours on the train with 2/3 changes depending on which route I'm going on. I've only done it twice since I've been here and it isn't brilliant, but I usually take my laptop and crack on with some work, or sleep so the time soon passes!

It took me a good month to settle in, if not longer. That was probably because I have never been away from home before and was leaving my family, boyfriend and animals behind. But everyone here is so lovely, that if I ever felt lonely just going to lectures with friends helped. The tutors are very supportive too as they know how people may struggle. I feel very settled now and am loving it! :biggrin:

Thank you! :biggrin:

It's around the same time for me journey wise too, although I'm ok with the time aspect of train journeys, it's more so the train changes as I'd be terrified of missing my train or getting the wrong one haha!

I'm the same too, I've never been away from home much and I'm a bit apprehensive about it, but it's good to hear that you settled in and that everyone is really friendly - that's definitely the impression I got on the open day, so I'm glad it's a true one! :smile:

I'm from the West Mids, so if I went it'd be about a 5 hour journey. I'm a bit worried about that, I'm not massively used to catching trains! I'm guessing there'd be other folk traveling north though so you'd maybe be able to travel with a friend :P
