What subject are you applying for?

And I'm sure you'll be fine, just make sure your personal statement's good and they're sure to want you. :biggrin:

Maybe explain this in your statement? Or ask your referee to? But I'm not sure exactly how they'd find out though unless your college tells them?

I don't think it matters about being excluded. I apparently punched someone and got excluded for like a week, when she pushed me . But I got in at 50% of my choices last year. And I've got a place already this year! :smile:

Don't worry, you'll get used to them in a few weeks! Luckily living in the Midlands I'm used to most accents. :biggrin:

Nottingham doesn't really have that much of an accent. :yep:

I need to go up north for university for personal reasons, but having a form of dyslexia (very mild) I have problems understanding different accents, coming from London, this is not a problem as I'm exposed to pretty much every accent under the sun- except northern accents, I can't understand them at all and it will effect my learning so much.

No matter what uni you go to, you'll come across so many different accents. I wouldn't base your choices around this, as you'll meet and speak to people from all over the country.

Ya I know, but for the first 4 months, if I go to a city like Liverpool I won't learn a thing. I'll be socially (sp?) isolated as I have to ask people none stop to repeat what they said. I know people from all over the country go to all sorts of universities but I'll be a lot better off going to a place like manchester. But you're right I know. UCAS and choices are much harder than I'd thought It'll be, plus I have no one to talk to about universities and stuff.

I was at uni in Manchester, and for the first year or so, I'm totally serious, I probably met about 5 people actually from Manchester. So I seriously wouldn't put Manchester as a choice, purely on the basis that you understand their accents.

He was real, and we have an extremely famous haunted pub in Derby, the oldest pub in the world (or was it the UK?), 2 world renowned hospitals for medicine, and we don't have an accent most people dislike which is always a bonus. :smile:

Don't worry about accents -- we have many more Southerners than Northeners here anyway! And few lecturers at most universities tend to have strong accents.
