I'm 99.9% certain I'm going to take French and do the Symbolism module :smile:

I sometimes feel tempted to do Latin or Anglo-Saxon, but that's probably not really going to happen :tongue:

Yourself?

I can't choose... I could continue Spanish but I think I'd rather start a new language, so either French or Italian :smile:

. Only problem with this course is that I'll never be able to choose between all the modules, they all look really interesting :rolleyes:

True! Have you read through the descriptions of the individual modules? I've started trying to plan out my degree already :redface:

No!!! Where can I find them??
This sounds like the perfect excuse for me to continue obsessing over next year :biggrin:

I am so bored of gap yearing now...

Here and here :smile:

I've clearly spent far too much time mooching around the website :redface:

I'm quite enjoying my gap year so far! It can be a little bit boring, and I sometimes wonder whether I'd be happier if I'd gone straight to York last October, but on the whole I'm pretty happy with it so far :smile:

Why did you decide to take a gap year?

For economics you can choose a module from another department to gain credits for, i think this is true for all other courses too.Im hoping to possibly pick a module from their maths department should be great compliment alongside my economics Im not sure in which year you can do this extra module from another department , if anyone knows it will be helpful.

Do people who apply early get their pick of anything they like, or is some accommodation held back until A level results day?

from what i can work out, everythings available to gap years (apart from Wentworth). But some will be held until results day. But you will get the college you want.. i think. :p:

Thank you!!! You're a star :smile:

Haha you're clearly better at mooching than me, thought I'd looked everywhere!

Mmm my gap year was definitely unplanned :rolleyes:

very long story, but it's all worked out for the best I suppose, and at least I'll have saved some money :smile:

. What are your plans for the year?

My gap year's taught me to be great at spending hours aimlessly surfing websites :wink:

My plans aren't really very interesting, I'd just like to save up some money and enjoy having plenty of spare, stress-free time to do lots of reading :smile:

It sounds a bit weird when I say 'Oh, I took a gap year to read', but I'm probably the worst-read English applicant ever, and I feel like I'll get more out of the degree if I've read more widely and have a better idea of what I do and don't like by the time I start. Have you got any gap year plans other than saving up money?
