Well fellow Potterhead, you have a friend in me :smile:

In fact I'm going to Leaky Con this summer, so excited! :biggrin:


Ooh good, didn't want to be the only Potter fan and have everybody think I'm crazy!

I wish was going! If I didn't live so far away from London I would have gone too! :frown:

I'm studying history. However, when i get there i might see if i can do some american studies as well because i really want to go to america for a year and for some reason, the abroad exchange to america with just history is a bit confusing


You can't study in the US doing straight history at leicester. But, fear not, I switched my course from English BA to History BA a few days before I was due to start, so I imagine it will be very easy for you to switch :smile:

Not so much Sherlock, though I'm thinking I might start getting into it! But Hunger Games definitely, massive fan! & occasionally YouTubers :smile:

I'm looking to go into accomodation but I'm more secure in the knowledge that I won't have gone far I guess. Makes it easier to branch out little by little.

Oh that's cool, any idea which one your going to go for? I'm the same really, I only live about 45 mins away from Leicester so its not too far away from home, but still far enough away to be independent :smile: Where have you put as your insurance? If you don't mind me asking :biggrin:

No idea yet. Might go with the Unite student accomodation instead of UoL owned property. DMU is my insurance as they just want me to get low grades to get in. :smile:

I liked the department for Modern Languages (which is what I will be doing along with a minor in Management) plus I know the city inside out because I live here! Yes all of you now have an official tour guide :biggrin: :cool:


Hey I am currently on my gap year and have an unconditional offer from Leicester and I'm going to be studying Spanish and Italian, I thought the same about the department for Modern Languages, which language have you chosen to study ?

I'm going to be doing Spanish and Italian too!! But I might drop one later on. Turns out I have the option to change the Management part of my degree to History of Art if I want to and now they just want my confirmation. I feel like it links better to Mod Langs lol so now I just have to decide. Are you entering as a post A Level language learner or beginner? :smile:

And it's so difficult to find Mod Lang applicants :biggrin:

OMGG yayy!! I´m so glad that I have already found someone that will be on my course! and yeah I am for Spanish, but complete beginner for Italian. What about you?
You said you are actually from Leicester so are you going to be staying at home or in student accomodation? :biggrin:

I will take Spanish as a beginner and Italian as an advanced learner although I really need to brush up on it before term starts :smile: I'll be staying at home for my first year but later on I might move out (prepare myself for the year abroad haha) . Where are you from? :biggrin:
