Wanna swap? :biggrin:

Nah, seriously, I think you made a good move. The course is just AMAZING looking. York looks good, but nothing that special. I am sure it'll be great too though.

i didn't know cambridge did a drama with english degree, (well its route 2 of drama and education where you can do eng modules instead of education) otherwise i'd have the applied there, (i didn't apply to oxbridge). I said i preferred york, coz my course there is english with performance and i personally prefer that to straight english, coz it allows me to keep up my interests in acting and directing. but i did have a look @ the cambridge english course and it does look v.interesting.
Wow, someone gave me bad rep for the comment about a 3rd from Oxford, which was utterly true and had the audacity to say: 'A third/2.2 from Oxford would probably easy beat a 2.1/first from Exeter.' Well, no actually: if you have a good quality education such as that at oxford, then you should be getting higher than a 3rd. The person who wrote this also has a superiority complex.

thats so annoying...people give me neg rep all the time saying things like "you're silly"...one person gave me neg rep today for a comment i made about 2 months ago and took 50 points off me so now im -81...how SAD is that? lol
Thats sad :frown: I hope someone with powerful rep can get you back up to a green gem (not that it matters really, only a website after all!). Fair enough if it was a stupid comment, but what I said was pretty much indisputable.
