Oh, apparently, it's not posh :P Sorry :smile:

To be honest, I know as little as you :smile:

Are you going to the open day in a couple of weeks? I'm quite excited about it, it's like a sleepover! :P

Haha, that's okay! :tongue:

I'm looking into what travel plan would be most efficient for me at the moment (cause I need to book flights). The train network in the UK seems to be good, so I might drop by London before the open day, not sure yet. Also, my travel insurance seems to be expiring tomorrow, so I need to get a new one of those as well ^_^

Hopefully it's all taken care of by tomorrow :wink:

Checking it everyday to see if anything appears under colleges.

Thank you so much! I'm not sure yet but I applied for Castle hehe which is ultimately the equivalent to an open application. I applied two days ago through UCAS Extra, so it's unbelievable how swiftly everything went!

Applied for Castle but got Collingwood instead.

Know nothing about it though, opinions? Anyone else been assigned there?

Can anyone help me? With the open days, do we get to choose if we go for the Monday night / Tuesday day or the Tuesday night / Wednesday day, or am I missing reading it? Thanks :smile:

Lara! Don't know if you remember me but we were the wallowing Oxford rejects haha! I made a new TSR. Is Durham your firm?

Haha bless our wallowing ways :rolleyes:

Unsure, I got an offer from UCL which hasn't be confirmed yet but probably will be A*AA. I think I prefer UCL to Durham (haven't visited Durham yet) but that A* is rather ominous so I'll see how Jan results go.

What about you?

I haven't been assigned there, but I've visited Collingwood before coz my friends are there, and its a lovely place. Really chilled out, its known as the relaxed college. Its good for sport, and has a nice vibe. Everyone who I met there was awesome. It's on the hill, so its quite a walk into the centre of town, but nothing anyone can't handle. All in all, its a really good college to go to :smile:

Do you mind if I ask how strong he is academically? I'm already convinced Durham will reject me.

Likewise for Physics, I'm suprised I have lasted this long ! I'll be pretty annoyed with a rejection now :tongue:

Well it's Scottish qualifications so I'm not sure how useful they'll be to you lol but anyway... He has 5 A's at Higher and I think all 1s at Standard Grade too.
