Just firmed an unconditional offer for English with Creative Writing, I actually can't wait! :smile:

Has anyone else here done the same for this course?

Stuck between firming Manchester or Birmingham UNI for Business Management…
I prefer the university itself at Birmingham, as it has its own campus so generally felt a better vibe. Where as Manchester is just dotted around the city. Birmingham offer a placement year, but Manchester did say on the applicant day they are 99% sure they are introducing it in 2014 so i guess thats kind of irrelevant..
The course at Manchester allows you to specialise in any area you want too such as accounting/marketing, where as you can't at Birmingham.
Birmingham is higher up on UK league tables… Manchester is higher up on World league tables
Birmingham is AB Distinction, Manchester is AAB…
:confused:

Do Birmingham allow you to have Student Selected Modules? Because that's the way you'll specialise. League tables vary a lot, I don't know which ones you're looking at, but subject-specific ones are the best. If you really think there's no real difference between them then go for the one you like the most - you'll be living there for at least 3 years! Hope that helps :smile:

Nice to see you firmed Birmingham! Not doing creative writing but firmed an unconditional for straight English lit so I'll probably see you there :biggrin:

Woooo! That's really cool :smile:

It all feels so close now - are you going to the accommodation day on the 26th?

Yep, I couldn't justify paying over £1000 more for an en-suite!

I know, it's all so exciting! :smile:

Yeah, I should be, are you?

Just want the exams to be over now :frown:

Yeah, even though I think I'm basically gonna go for the cheapest non-catered rooms I can find I thought it'd probably be wise to check out what they have on offer in a bit more detail.

Plus it'll be nice to look around the Uni that I'll be going to in a few months!

Haha exactly, my friends in Maple bank this year and it's fine, you don't really need anything else! It's a lot more money to spend on nights out :L yeah, do you have an un-conditional?

Ooh I could maybe see you there then?:O did you go for an applicant day? :smile:

Yes hopefully! No I didn't, I'd been to two open days already and competed in athletics there a couple of times so I knew the uni pretty well already!

The pressure is off though so exams won't be as bad as they could be :smile:

Have you applied to accommodation already? I'm doing the same although I can't cook so it's going to be fun going self-catered :') I went to an AVD and everything was lovely - only 7months to go!

Yeah I have - apparently its best to apply as early as possible because they allocate accommodation according to your application date! I don't really know how it works but I figured I would apply as early as possible. Yeah haha, I might try a bit of cooking at home before I go, just so I don't starve completely for the first few weeks at Uni.

I have a feeling the 7 months are going to go really fast :smile:
