Well I went there for a couple of days earlier in the year and hated it, which confirmed my choice NOT to apply there. Then for some reason I researched it a bit more and decided I loved it (without visiting again) and now I have applied. So I'm not too sure what went on :biggrin:

I thought the location was nice... campus uni but very near the town centre where there's loads of nice places to go out. Didn't like the uni much... thought it looked a bit grey and dull. But then I did visit it when no students were about so maybe that's why!

i loved nottingham when i went to visit, the campus is lovely and not in the middle of nowhere, like the above poster said its very near to town!!

My first choice is between Notts and Durham, just wish both would give me an offer now!

I thought the uni was supposed to be far away from the city centre etc? :confused:

I'm between Nottingham and Bristol myself! - they're both excellent for their own courses, both offers industry year, both Masters, Bristol ranks 12 and Nottingham ranks 14, so there really isn't much separateing the two! :frown:

The only thing I must decide now is which course I prefer, cus it's Neuroscience in Nottingham and Pharmacology in Bristol - but darn it the two courses overlap soooo much in the first two years, and then in the fourth both involves disorders of the brain! And at Bristol one of the company links for industry year is a Neuroscience Research Lab :redface:

The main difference is just what would be focused on and that there's more chemistry in Pharmacology :frown:

Hence I really don't know - and they both want the same grades - BBB :frown:

Hence also dilemma of would it be completely stupid to put both those unis as my first and second choices, when they want the same grades? :frown:

Ideas anyone? - which uni??? ARGH!!!!!!!!! :eek:

Hey out of interest, Bestdeceptions and Exmoorkatie - have you heard from Oxford yet? How did it go? (lol I read your sigs :p:

)

Lol that's the thing - I've only seen Bristol so far :frown:

I wanna go to Nottingham and see if I like the place but the Open Day isn't until 9th Feb and my parents don't see the point of me going any earlier :frown:

However they have a point in that they reckon I should forget about uni and start working and getting my A-Levels :p:

I won't be finalising anything until I've seen Nottingham, but I've stopped by it for a few minutes like a year or two ago and I remember it to be quite quiet and spacious, and from what I've heard Nottingham is a gorgeous uni.

I know I like Bristol, however. Not sure if I could settle there though that's the thing :redface:

But I want a more or less definite answer to which uni I wanna go to cus right now I'm still torn between the two, whereas once I've decided which uni I want as my first, I could just go visit Nottingham to confirm my choice.

Bristol is a really cool place to stay for sure. (I live here :wink:

). Like you, I still need to check out Nottingham. But as you said, the reputation, course contentwise, everything is pretty much on par, so it's really down to the campus and the city. Anyways, you don't need to pick which university you want to go to until April or so! :p:

ps I'm going to the open day on 09/02 as well :smile:

Oooooh hey we might see each other! - what do you look like? And your name tag certainly won't be "The Wolf" so what's your name? :biggrin:

Just read my username that's my full name :wink:

yay it's so cool to meet people! :biggrin:

What course did you apply to Nottingham for? And which two unis are you thinking of putting as your first and second choice?

Bristol - is it really busy? - cus if it's anything like London I wouldn't like it much :frown:

or Sheffield, too scattered. When I visited it wasn't overly busy it looked quite nice in fact :smile:

is it the kind of place you can sorta "settle" into?

we might! loll do you have msn? Anyways Ill be going to the Jubillee Campus as that's where the Business School is! You'll be going to another one! My first choice would be LSE/Warwick if either accept me, and Nottingham/Bristol/Manchester as insurance (as i said, not sure which yet!). Bristol isn't really busy, esp comparing to London. Outside the university, you are immediately stepping onto Park street (a long street with lots of restaurants, shops, bars...etc), and the uni is about 15 minutes walk away from the city centre. The accomodations of Bristol are one of the best in the UK imo. Many of the areas of the accomodations are in expensive areas, hence crime is virtually non-existant. So all in all, you should settle in with little problems. Whereas I'm not too sure about Nottingham yet, as I haven't visited.
