I'll go on a rampage if my grades let me down -four marks off having an A at AS!!
I've already been rejected by St. Andrews so I'm not filled with confidence. I have my Warwick offer though, so I wont be gutted.
From what I understand, Durham is a small department with a lot of applicants :frown:


I had Physics offers from St Andrews and Durham about three weeks ago, but I have heard nothing from Warwick.

It's for overnight stay plus 2 or 3 meals.


Only open night that I've had to pay for, and that's on top of my flights over there.

I know the feeling! I was lucky enough to get an offer just over a week ago, but that's having waited 5 months! It's frustrating but offers should be coming out faster now! :smile:

There are a couple of others on here who got offers in January too.


My chances are getting smaller and smaller then. They only have 140 places, and it looks like loads of people have applied. I just wish they'd hurry up and make their decision! I have accommodation and finance to sort out!

just a general question, i got my offer on thursday and have no idea what college yet, will i be still likely be able to go to one of the open days the week after next?
essentially what i mean is, is there enough time to get confirmation and book a place to go?

Haha. Rub it in why don't you!
Although, given how competitive both departments seem, I'm surprised Warwick haven't been in touch. I got my offer in November (my bloody sixth form took 3 weeks processing my application), and I've been rejected from St. Andrews. It's odd that St. Andrews would give you an offer and reject me, but Warwick would give me an offer within a few weeks of sending my application off and leave you waiting.

I'm sure it's probably something to do with admin. It should just be a matter of time before you get an offer.

They should get back to you before the open days because otherwise you'd be missing out which they shouldn't let happen!
Your college will appear under AES useful links before the letter arrives in the post but you could always call up to find out if you could book onto it over the phone if you're worried,..?

Loving all these language people, I've firmed it for French, Spanish and Russian. :smile:
Does anyone know if there's a University College or just a regular Durham offer holders thread? I've got a few accommodation questions that I'm not sure where to ask.

Yeah, I've been wondering about contacting them, especially as St. Andrews is unconditional. I also got unconditional from Edinburgh. It could be that Warwick don't understand our Scottish system, although Durham seem to get it.
Hope you hear soon. Good luck.

Oh! Wow I wasn't expecting to have to do that, and it's £30 that's quite steep.


I don't know if the 2-day open day is for all courses but it is for mechanical eng.

I'm going on the 21st for Engineering at Collingwood :biggrin:


Ahh is that monday to tuesday?

On the map Collingwood sent me, it shows the train station is right next to the university. Is this the main train station in Durham? As in, if I buy a train ticket to 'Durham', will the train stop at the station outside the uni?
Anyone going to the open day on 22nd for either St Aiden's or Physics? :smile:
