Official Durham Applicants Thread 2011

Thanks, you win some you lose some, and honestly I don't know whether I like their whole 8 week system and emphasis in exams- way to stressful for me (which is why I love Durhma because its kinda a less intensive version of Oxbridge- or I think so )

Anthropoolgy sounds like a really interesting course, I did look into anthropology and archaelology before I applied, and it looked really cool What ssubjects are you doing at IB then?

Yeah I Am Are You?

Who's Durham open day-ing?

I'm still waiting to hear from Durham, and I really want to go there, but my application hasn't been handed onto a college yet and I applied on 11th October...

Who's Durham open day-ing?

Hi, I am For history at Grey, how about you?
Also, I assumed that the letter which says the open days are 22nd/23rd means you can choose which day to go on, and those are the days of the deparment stuff (ie you stay in college the night before if you want to)... Am I right? My friend said that it means you stay in college on 22nd and department stuff is on the 23rd, but that doesn't seem to be the general consensus on this thread.. Any help would be much appreciated Also, are there any other history/Grey offer holders?

I'm going

I am going for the Mon/Tues Open Day at St Chad's

I'm law at Josephine Butler staying at Collingwood though apparently
RE the open days, as far as I know... haha.
I chose to have my Butler open day on the 21st and my law open day on the 22nd, so I assume it's the same for you but with a day afterwards?
What have other people said? Confuzzling me, eek.

Ok, that makes sense, thanks I think most people on the thread say that there are 2 days for the open day and you can choose which to go on, which seems to be what it says here http://www.dur.ac.uk/resources/study/CollegesProgramme2011.pdf don't be confused, I was just wondering How comes you have to stay at Collingwood rather than JB? Seems annoying that you might not see the college as much

All this talk of open days is starting to get me a bit worried now.

I'm Mon/Tues as well
Quite a trek for you isn't it? haha. Are you staying in Durham for a bit or doing all the uni visiting at once?

Which course and college?
It would be nice to actually know someone beforehand, haha.

Durham is the primary stop, but I'll make the trek up to St A afterwards. I am arriving at Durham on the weekend ahead of Open Days. When will you arrive? Which college? Does the dept do something separate from the college?

Oh sorry, you're right! I got an offer from Castle for PPE What about you ?

That sounded much more aggressive on here than it did in my head, sorry haha.
Ooh Castle, nice!
I'm law at Josephine Butler

Haha, I know what you mean about the 8 week system.. and I really am not an exam-ey person unfortunately, though its very hard to avoid them.

I do Bio, English and Geography Higher
Art, Italian B and Math standard

what about you?
