Yeah, you'll see for yourself. But it's the truth.
What did you think Durham would be like before you started?
[QUOTE=lukmanmiah;63235999]Yeah that should be good. Although last time I got a bit lost when I arrived at Durham so hopefully it goes well this time
Yeah, second time lucky?

Cambridge like but more multi-ethnic, with people from all economic backgrounds.
It's mostly white boarding school kids.
[QUOTE=DinduCoffin;63235991]Well, it's the majority unfortunately. The university is run by posh kids. 
I don't really mind posh, no one can help their background. But I do mind arrogant or people who're 'up themselves', but it's difficult to know what to believe

Yeah hopefully because this this time I'll arrive during the day whereas last time I arrived at night and there was no people around.

Stay away from Durham. Full of Arrogant, Mediocre, Boarding School Kids.
I'm still waiting for a response from them but I have heard that rumour, it's a bit worrying but hopefully it's just a rumour:/ I'm used to being in environments where I'm the odd one out in terms of ethnicity and not all posh people are arrogant so I don't mind that as long as they're friendly..

hope you get into your other unis and good luck!thanks
Recieved an unconditional offer on Thursday for Ancient civilisations and Archaeology (BA) so anyone worrying about their GCSE grades, I wouldn't because mine where ****. So they mustn't take them too much into consideration. 😁 also how long have people been waiting to hear about college allocation after they've got an offer
I haven't heard back for eng lit yet 😁 starting to panic now

anyone know anything about st aidans?
nope, I only applied for it because I wanted a big, more social college, I've been offered a place there though, which is lucky as it was my preferred college

It's so disconcerting. I just want to know! What were your AS grades and predicted, if you don't mind me asking?
slightly worried about the college I've been allocated now...I thought St aidans was meant to be quite a welcoming and social college but people seem to be saying it's pretty dead...can anyone give me info about st aidans and what the social life/people there are like?!?!

My AS grades were: AAAA
And my predicted are: AAA
I know that my predicted grades are lower than the offer so it's most likely gonna be a rejection, but as I haven't heard either way I'm clinging to some hope!!
What about you?
