Chester University

[QUOTE="lauren_denman;42179016"]YAY! Finally someone else who is doing English lit! yeah same, I haven't heard anything from them about it yet and my student finance application is finished yet as my parents have no details and cant make a new account! Everything feels so stressful yet exciting at the same time!

Have you been to any applicant or open days?[/QUOTE
:smile:

I'm on the verge of finishing my student finance now! Yes stressful but VERY EXCITING :smile:

No I have just come back from Australia (I took a gap year) and went last October to see family and came back 2 days ago!
Hopefully will be going at the end of this month. A friend from school is on her last year now studying English and she loves Chester and said that the English department is excellent! Have you been to any of the open days? :smile:

Ahhh that sounds pretty cool, bet it was nice to have some sun for a few months! Yeah I've heard that the department it really good and the city is really nice too! Sp should be good!

Nope not yet I'm going to the applicant day on the 20th April to have a look round the uni and the city as I've never been to Chester before, mainly due to the fact that its about 4 hours away from where I live!

20th of April is the one I've booked too! :smile:

Therefore might see you there! Chester is about an hour and a half from where I live (Abersoch, North Wales)
I've been to Chester a lot and love it! It's not massive but you still have all your shops and great nightlife!
4 hours is a long drive but hopefully you will fall in love with the city like a lot of people! :smile:

Not yet as my mum went to do a degree about 10 years ago and no longer has any details so my parents cant log in to support me and they cant make a new account. I've filled in a form by hand and posted it off but nothing has changed online so I don't really know where I am with mine at the minute or what to do next :frown:

slightly freaking out because of the deadline

My dad couldn't remember his details either to support me so we rang student finance up and he just had to give some details about himself such as DOB, and address and they gave him his reference number and emailed him his password. If you don't here anything from them I would just call them, It can take them awhile to update things online

Ahh that's good then, would be nice to know someone when i go! I didn't want to go to somewhere that was massive but then i didn't want to go to somewhere that was in the middle of nowhere! Im from norfolk so Im used to being in the middle of nowhere surrounded by farmers who cant talk properly!

I kinda like the distance, it means i cant just run home for help but then it not too far if something goes really bad. Helps with independence and all that :smile:

I like historic and quirky places so no doubt ill fall head over heels for the city :biggrin:

Oh that's sounds much easier than what they asked us to do, we rang them and had to answer similar questions about my parents and then they emailed us a 'parent application form' that was 17 pages long and we had to print it out and post it to them. They said that they would then enter the details for us, the stupid thing is that my application was basically finished I just need my parents information and it seems to be taking forever, which is pretty understandable because I bet there are a lot of people in the same situation.

Yeah it's ridiculous that they expect your parents to have their information from years ago! 17 pages thats crazy! I still haven't heard from them apparently they sent me a declaration 2 weeks ago but i've still not recieved it haha
