Oh I know! I think is like a £100 train ride (not sure though) so I'd probably have I make minimal journeys back home which I'm not a huge fan of.
The more I think about it the more excited I become to firm Durham, haven't done it yet because I'm still weighing out the pros and cons against Bath for civil engineering as opposed to general.
Are you leaning towards Durham?

Hello!

That's very far! I checked the train prices and they are ridiculous, especially as I'd have to get the train to London first so I'm still making pro and con lists!

Are you definitely going to Durham?

Hi! I'm in the same boat, coming from Wiltshire. Have you considered flying? For me the train would be £100 each way at minimum, but flights from Bristol to Newcastle are £50 return! I realise that might not be helpful in some areas, but depending on where you are in South Wales it might be worth a look. There are regular trains from the airport to Durham that cost £7.20 without a railcard and take about an hour, so even with that added on it's a lot quicker by plane too!

Yeah, I live 17miles West of Cardiff so that would be the best option for going to and from throughout the year. Cardiff airport is rather expensive for what it is so a getting to and flying from Bristol is my best bet.

It's ridiculous isn't it... Costs and general effort means I won't go to durham

Got conditional offer for Geography for under grad...requirement will be 87% in Geog & 85% in Math in my 12th...keeping my fingures crossed. Pls suggest which is the best college for my choice in the Univ. Also how it compared with Univ of Edinburg.

Didn't put any choice...but can you suggest which is the best for my subject or otherwise also, atleast I can request now.

Got an offer yesterday for PPE A*AA. Applied to Collingwood so waiting for college allocation to come through, fingers crossed!

Congratulations! Are you firming it?
I have an offer for PPE and I've applied to Collingwood too!

I think so. Durham has always been my dream to get into but now it has come down to it, I am more torn between York and Durham than I thought I would be!
