Lenton & Wortley 2013/14

Well thats one more than me My UKCAT wasn't brilliant so wasn't a suprise to be honest though I did do well on my A-levels so not getting an offer for the 2nd time didn't feel great, but I'm over it now, now I get to go to two universities I'm a London boy myself so moving to a smaller city will be nice

It's not too far from Psychology either, so yes more sleep for us I find L&W is tucked away in a corner so people don't tend to visit it on open days. I will be coming from a city next to Newcastle in the North East of England Unfortunately, Nottingham is a four and a half hour drive from where I live. How about yourself?

It's fine, essentially. The first few weeks are really just easing you into it, recapping all of the cell biology and relevant chemistry you've ever done in about 2 lectures before they start with the new concepts. From then on there is a lot of contact- you'll almost certainly be in every day of the week, but the workload really isn't bad. Medics don't get proper coursework like most people, so as long as you're paying a moderate amount of attention in lectures there is remarkably little to do in your own time. The only hard and fast rule is that the amount of time you put in will correlate very strongly with your marks. If you go to every lecture and do a reasonable but not back breaking amount of work in the evenings/weekend (maybe one or two nights a week) then you're on track for solid 2:i or firsts all round. If you don't go to lectures because you're enjoying uni too much, and nobody will blame you, then it is perfectly possible to still pass everything. You'll just have a very, very ****ty Christmas.

The second semester is harder; the modules are generally a bit harder with more content, although they are more "medical" which makes up for it a bit. Anatomy is the hardest part of 1st or 2nd year. There is very little formal teaching for it, and if you go into a dissection without having already done the book work then you're going to get a beasting, so you're going to want to spend at the very least an afternoon and evening before the session making notes from whichever textbook you use.

I think something like half the score of the application is based on UKCAT at nottingham, which is way too much in my opinion! Wow, that must've sucked but yeah, going to two unis will be awesome!

Have officially accepted my offer for single study at Lenton and wortley ��

Bit annoyed as I wanted large single study, but really happy to be in Lenton, sounds really nice!

Hi all. I'm getting a shared study in Lenton and Wortley. Got an unconditional for medicine as long as I pass the criminal record and health checks

Nah I think he's shared bedroom so he'll be living a wee bit closer to his roommate than I will

I've got an offer of a single study room in Lenton and Wortey I'll be studying Geography. Can't wait!

Woo welcome aboard! Will you be commuting far to where Geography is held?

I shouldn't think so, a 15-20 minute walk I think so that's good. The map makes L&W look really far out but on the visit day I had a look for it and it's not actually that far away from everywhere else which is great! have you got far to go for Psychology?

Oh yes he does, there's me getting the shared types mixed up!
Will you be coming far from Nottingham?

Yeah it's a bit of a way. I live near Belfast so I'll have to try and fly everything across.

Cunninglearner we could well be! Any idea if/when you find out about things like that?
