The same. I've been volunteering with the youth offending team for the last 2 months.

I'll go where ever life takes me. I might change my mind after 3 years. Uni is about experiencing new things.

Yes, I'm 20 and have already done A levels and had enough ucas points for 4 of the courses I applied to, which is why I got unconditional.

Whereas I'm 21 and decided that working in dead end jobs in the hospitality industry wasn't for me anymore. Just over halfway through an access course now.

Ah, sorry. Well done on getting your offers.
I've applied for criminology at essex, bangor, huddersfield .. But i don't have a enormous passion or something like that , i applied just because it sounded interesting... If you can tell me please , what are the directly related careers to this course ? Criminology is a hard subject ?

Things like police, probation, prison service are directly related. You could do whatever you want as a lot of graduates end up in careers that aren't related to your degree.

You could go onto postgraduate courses, most are more interested in what grade you got rather than subject.
