Lancaster Uni: Official Students 13/14!

Haha, in contrast i'm fully state schooled - the only one in my family who is, now that i think about it! All my sisters went to boarding school at some point then there's me who just had to walk round the corner We had a massive range of crazy at my college!
Lancaster was my limit for going south, but i did look at further scottish unis though :') What midland ones did you look at?
It's a shame, Newcastle is pretty brill for nightlife and stuff, or so i'm told - turning 18 during exams isn't great timing

What are you reading up on?

You need A*AA so you wont get it if u get A*A*B soz.

not for that one i won't but the one from the physics department for A*A* in maths and physics i will but thanks for trying

Haha my school wasnt posh, still a state school, just selective :') In sixth form there was a huge range because it was like one of few sixth forms in the area where there were quite a few 7-11 schools :') Lancaster isnt south! hahahah :') I had offers for Birmingham and Warwick I looked at St Andrews but decided it was too far north/too isolated :')
Yeah I've heard it is, i think thats why so many people i know want to go there :')

Been reading "An Introduction to University Mathematics" - I used it for some FP2 revision, so I've been using it in an attempt to jog my memory a little bit.

Not bada I've not done FP2 so no point me reading it

omg that's awful!! i can see why you didn't go with it in the end! and yeah that's a good way to think about it. stick it out and wait till it passes i guess haha :') most of us are in the same boat i'd imagine. thank you! i couldn't speak when i saw them! bewildered! i did it at GCSE and got a B but i couldn''t do it at a-level as it's not the most popular language ever! but now is my chance, so excited. and see i dunno though i will miss my job because of the people i've met there, HOWEVER, i'm a pot washer so my sadness only stretches so far! i've told the manager if she can't find anyone when i get back from holiday, i'll do it for a bit longer until they can trial some more people. bloody dedication i swear :') i hope there's plenty of jobs going in lancaster! i can't imagine there is though it's such a small place! :')

Hey Tish ;P

Course: MSci Computer Science (4 years)
Offer: ABB (A-levels)
Results: A*ABB - confirmed in 2012 and entry deferred
College: Grizedale Townhouses I hope!

I'll be bringing my 360 (PS3 BOO), probably upgrading to something bigger and whooshier at christmas, depending on how soon I get a job after I arrive. I run mine through my PC monitor as I've never had a TV ;P
Not much of a gamer except for CoD/Fifa/portal currently, i suck at Battlefield ;P

Hope to see you all there (woo)

Well, there is if we'll be covering similar material in our course at Lancs... It's not an FP2 book, it's a general introduction book to uni maths that just happened to have helpful A level bits in <img src="images/smilies/smile.png" border="0" alt="" title="" smilieid="1" class="inlineimg" />

Oh I see! I think I might try and get hold of a copy then

It is quite reassuring knowing that everyone there is going to be in the same position and will all be worrying about making friends, missing our families, being skint- basically all worrying about the same things Languages aren't that popular anyway, only 2 people in our year did French to A2! Does your degree involve you living in Germany for a year?

Maybe you could get your job back next summer when you come home (unless you don't want to see another unwashed pot ever again ) Yeah all the jobs will probably go really quickly! I think I might just see how things go in first year, see how busy uni work keeps me and then decide if I have time for a job, then if I do I'll try to get one in second year. I'm going to be so skint, student finance doesn't even cover my accommodation, but if I eat nothing but toast for a year it should be fine

Riiiighhhttt, it's okay, i won't make fun of you for sounding a bit posh Nearly everything is south from Newcastle - i've even heard one of my friends say that if you hold a globe "the right way" with newcastle at the top, clearly even scotland is down south Haha yeah, i had a look at st andrews as well, but they took being a campus uni to a whole new level :')

Doing Politics with International Relations and living in Bowland Halll!
Anyone picked what other modules they're doing to make the 120 credits?? xx
