The only reason i chose to apply to plymouth was because of the low cut offs........I have no clue about the city(or town!) , i didn't even know where it was on the map when I considered applying for it haha.

Omg I once lived in Plymouth and went to the Medicine open day so I know first hand!

The open day was fantastic- literally your dream medical school. Fantastic library, just for medics, in the heart of the hospital.

Nightlife in plymouth is fantastic if you prefer bars over clubs - think like a sailor 😉 and everyone seems to be down to earth and so chilled!

HOWEVER plymouth is known to be the worst dressed city - I have no idea where the hell they get their dress sense from 😂😂😂 the sailors I guess 😂😂😂😂

Oh yeah, and the campus is in the middle of the city (yay to cheap taxis on a night out) 😊

Thank you for such an informative account! And that seems great then! It will motivate me for this interview
I was worried that the nightlife would be dead, but it seems it won't be haha! Oh I don't care about the dress sense!
This seems like a weird questions, but is plymouth hilly? Im a cross country runner so i need some good hilly land to run and cycle on.

No I've not been to an open day because I live in the Midlands too in Cheshire so it's a massive and expensive journey for me so I couldn't go :frown:

but I've read stuff online about it and it looks really nice there! I wish they did prosection or dissection though!

plymouth is very hilly, and has an athletics team with many long distance runners (i know because i'm an athlete myself and checked it out).

I'd say they do, quality shopping too, not a lot, but the quality shops are there. plenty of restaurants to eat at too and not to mention the Hoe is gorgeous in the summer.

sorry about your rejection :frown:

but you made the cut-off so if you meet the minimum gcse grades, you should get one I think! ask @michaela__

Hey, I'm from Ireland and studied at Plym previously. Most of the time I travelled from Belfast to Exeter and then got the train to Plym. It's practically the same price if you book in advance and the travel time by train is shorter between Exeter than it is Bristol. Also, be careful of not booking the train ahead of time because it can cost a bomb if you buy it then and there (£40 one-way for an adult from Bristol to Plym).
