    Maaan literally everybody picked Lafrowda. Could it possibly be because that's the block they showed everyone on open day?
    For me there are two primary reasons:

    1) Close to business school.
    2) Ensuite Self-catered.

    Well you could consider location? Do you want to be on campus or off? That would help you decided between St Germans and JOC
    I went for location and picked St Germans, thank you!

    I had such a debate about ensuite then I thought I'll probably have to share in my 2nd & 3rd year so I'll treat myself for the 1st year

    Either of you going for the year abroad programme?

    3) Cheap!

    I'm having to self fund my first years tuition fees so I need to save every penny I can so the cheapest is the best for me!

    I've firmed Exeter for Physics and Astrophysics

    Still deciding what accommodation to choose. Most likely one of the two standard self catered halls

    Depends what kind of music you want to do as to whether it'd be helpful being near Duryard. What instrument do you play? If you have any questions, feel free to ask - I'm in my final year now and have been involved in music at Exeter since my first .
    Hi I have fimed my offer from Exeter and I hope to study modern languages there in september. I have applied for a music scholarship (Piano and singing)- do you have any tips for the audition?
