When did you get your offer/ when did you apply? They might be doing the first applicants first
Anyone heard back for politics and philosophy?

Hi, huge congratulations on your offer! May I ask when you informed Durham of your health issues? Was it before or after an offer? And when did they get back to you and lower your offer? I send a letter about health problems with evidence and my offer is a*aa and I haven't heard anything else... any help would be appreciated!
Thanks a lot!
I'm doing Spanish and History (with year abroad) and was reallocated to St Aidan's college - does anyone know much about it? I was hoping for a Bailey college so don't know what to think!

Congratulations! I'm a straight History student but I'm hoping to do a year abroad too :smile: I don't have much experience but I've heard that people tend to be happy and grow to love their college wherever they go!
Great! Yeah I've heard that too - have you been allocated a college yet?

Is it normal that you get a letter with your college allocation? I didn't really expect this since I am an international applicant.. Got allocated to St Hild and St Bede btw, for PPE :smile:
Hello everyone! Does anyone know if there's any organised dancing society at the uni? Would love to continue it as sport when I move.

Hi everyone!

I have an offer for Bsc Geography (AAA) at St Chads!

Got my offer in November, maybe a week or two after applying, but so far I've just been sitting on my offers and thinking it through - hence the delayed post.

So excited to have been allocated the college I applied to - but I don't know that much about Chads, so please share if you do!

Congrats on everyones offers so far :smile:

I'm also an international student (EU) and they sent me my college allocation by post as well. I found it quite odd because being international it takes longer for things to get here; it would make sense to receive an email instead☺️
Got an offer for Law. (Surprising, given my LNAT score)

Conditions: SATs at 700, 700, 700 (U.S.)
College: Collingwood

Going to the post offer visit day on 22 March!

Well I have a long term medical condition (type 1 diabetes), and on my UCAS form I had to state it. Then I sent UCAS off, a few weeks later Durham asked me to fill in a form about my condition and I had to explain it etc, then I got an offer a few months later. Each university has now sent me forms I have to fill in to give evidence etc but Durham and Lancaster were the only uni's to lower the grade boundaries which I didn't expect, but they acknowledge that it effects my education. Hope this helps :smile: x
