Hello :smile: sorry for getting back late. I have received offer from Edinburgh in a week's time. Plymouth on the 2nd week and Exeter on the 3rd week. Loughborough and portsmouth haven't answered but I am over the period of checking my application on UCAS hahaha. Exeter will definitively be my firm. How about yours? have your referee got back to you? :smile:

No worries! Doesn't Plymouth only have foundation years or have I completely misunderstood that? Wow great uni choices you have there, congrats on the offer from Edinburgh!! Yes she has answered but hasn't written the reference yet, ugh, hope she writes that soon so I can FINALLY send my application!

Haha I put Bsc nutrition exercise and health for Plymouth. Edinburgh's good but I just can't picture myself in Scotland! Ahh I see.. Hope your referee finish writing your reference soon since Christmas's coming. There might be a rush of applicants trying to submit before that :smile: Of all the Unis I still like Exeter most :tongue:

Hey :smile: what do you think about the course and the environment?
Personally I think everyone is stuck up so I'm changing university's next year. I don't like the atmosphere and everyone is so unfriendly. I was out on freshers week and got started on because I was chatting to a lad in my course and this girl wasn't even his girlfriend and had met him a few hours ago and they said you don't live with us so don't bother speaking to us. It's a very personal opinion I just hate it.

The course is really good though! If you want to do something in sports science then it's perfect. I was going to complete this degree then do a PGCE and become a teacher but I can't stand the maths and stuff I don't need to even know. Just different people get different stuff out of it.

However the campus and city are lovely, nightlife isn't impressive. Clubs close at 2am which is shocking. The sport society's have a lot of socials so aslong as you get into one of them you should be ok.
