So where is everyone from?

I am from the Bristol area and Manchester is 4 hours away from me on the train!


I'm from a small town called Rugby, which is about a 2 1/2 - 3 hour drive for Manchester. Are you trying to get as far away from home as possible?

I've just got an interview! 28th January for BSc Biomedical Sciences! Loved the uni, loved the city and love the look of the program, so hopefully I can pull it off!

Yours,
Grey

No, I'm not. I am actually starting to worry about the distance! I am worrying that it might be a bit too far! Previously I wanted to go to Southampton which was about a 2 hour drive, but I didn't like the uni at all.

Where else have you applied? 4 of the unis I applied for are within a 45 minute drive from home, Manchester is the furthest uni I applied to.

I still need to go and visit the uni first, but after getting some info, I will probably be looking at Fallowfield, maybe Oak or Sheavyn House. What about you?
