Haha me too, i didnt reallt enjoy it that much! I wish i took something like Biology instead!
Ah, i used to love science at school! I live in Newcastle :smile: your coming pretty far to Leeds then!
What grades do you need to get for neuroscience?


I know what u mean, I should have done psychology instead of english :rolleyes:
and haha yh I know the trips home are gonna b few and far between, which is neither a bad or good thing, I think the space from home will give me much needed independence and space, the down side is that I can't just pop home if I get hungry and broke lol, speaking off finances has anyone completed their student finances?
I need to sort that out and figure out how much I'm gonna be living on each week at uni, all I know at the moment is that I'm going shopping for some new clothes and shoes b4 uni starts :biggrin: it would probably be wise to buy some home essentials whilst I'm out and about too..

I know it's a bit early, okay it's very early, but have you started any shoppin 4 uni

oh and I need AAB, how bout u?

No it's not free, you take out a student loan and you pay for your accommodation; if anything most unis will guarantee accommodation for first years but by no means is it free :smile:

I wish I didn't drop English Lit looking back. Can't say I enjoyed it incredibly though I didn't mind, more than it took less effort than my other subjects. :lol:


Really?! I wish I never took it, all those boring poems from "The World and His Wife" and "The Handmaid's Tale" wasn't much better either tbh, the only part I enjoyed was writing the first piece of coursework where we could write a fictional piece based on the handmaid's tale; I only took english lit 'cos my school doesn't offer english language past GCSE level :s-smilie:

I spose it didn't help that I wasn't really a fan of my english teacher either :K:

what other subject are you doing? and what course have you applied for?

Those poems ring no bells at all! :zomg: We had The Rime of the Ancient Mariner and then a selection of a few other old poems. Ah, my school didn't do English Language after GCSE either - nor were the teachers fond of the subject so didn't really want to teach it. Personally, I preferred literature - less writing, more analysing (ie using your imagination to make creative waffle). :tongue: We didn't have any fictional pieces to write though. Just essays and essays aplenty for AS-Level.

Ahaha, not being a fan really doesn't help! I did really like my English teachers though. That said, I think I liked it more because I really did not have to do much. It clashed with my Chemistry lessons, so I had to do it in my own time with just one hour a week after school time of teaching. It meant we just focused primarly on the coursework and exams, if that. No classwork at all or any of the extra bits you have to do to prepare and all the random drafts and everything else. :king1:

I did Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Maths as well at AS. Carried those four on dropping English for A2. Currently on a gap year and unconditional medicine offer. School seems like forever away! :zomg:

How about yourself? :awesome:

Quite a high chance ill be applying there too =)
I think its gonna be pretty sociable which is a big deal for me. And the rooms are pretty big, didnt you think?? :biggrin: i was happy with it.
AND for ensuite the price isnt through the roof like alot of en suite is.

Im still thinking about it though. Considering charles morris, the tannery and henry price.
I just wanna end up somewhere nice and sociable without any rah people XD
