Definitely with you, I would rather make my own food, plus it's a lot cheaper.

I applied to Newnham, it's an all girls college but all the rooms are single which is nice and I wasn't really up for the idea of sharing a room in first year. Also it's mega close to the law faculty building where the law library and lecture rooms are, so that will give me a extra few minutes to sleep 😋

What other universities did you apply to?

I know this is a Durham thread, but I couldn't resist saying hello to a fellow Newnham applicant!! 😂

Thank you! I hope you get into Durham. If I don't get into Cambridge, we may see each other at Josephine Butler.

I'm an only child too! I'm so used to my own company and having my own space, I don't think I could give it all up so abruptly.

I applied to: Cambridge, Bristol, Warwick and Queen Mary's in London

I got an offer from Queen Mary's last week for A*AA, which I was pretty happy about. I guess that means my application wasn't that bad.

Yes!! Hopefully we will :biggrin:

haha exactly, I always stick to a routine in the morning XD and woah! Congrats! All of your choices are so impressive :biggrin:

I know Warwick like to send out offers rather quickly, so you should get one very soon!

Original A Level predicted grades: A*A*A

College: St Chad's

Anyone else here applying for Biological Sciences?
