ive applied to cardiff, sheffield, manchester, nottingham trent fr urban planning and then northumbria for quantity surveying, dunno why i put that.im doing geography business and english language and am predicted A*AA.I find it so interesting how cities grow and how they work, and i think learning about how to create the towns and the cities of the future would be sick.

Yeah it is, no one knows what urban planning is :frown:

. I'm going to apply to loughbrough and sheffield too! What is your top choice and what are your thoughts on Liverpool and Newcastle, I'm stuck between choosing one of them two.

I prefer Liverpool by far, Newcastle is an afterthought to fill my 5th option. Newcastle is much further from where I live and I think Liverpool is a nicer city. Although, both courses are really good.

By yay for lough and sheffield!

Yeah, I think LIverpool has a nice regenerated city. I've never been Newcastle but I heard that it's a great student city.

Hey guys! applying for urban planning (and 2 geography courses). I applied to loughborough, queens Belfast and UCL for urban planning! I have received offers from both QUB and Loughborough. Its actually such a niche subject. I love architecture, the idea of utopias, how the past predicted what life would be like today, swimming, watching documentaries and listening to podcasts on really obscure topics! I do IB so its a bit different to A levels. Good luck to everyone!

Well done on your offers and good luck for the others! Do you know what A level equivalent grades you have? If you don't mind me asking :smile:

Also, what country are you from!

thank you so much! I am studying in the UK, but still do IB and the equivalent of my prediction is A*A*A I believe but it is difficult to compare. Good luck to you on your offers also :smile:

Hey! I just got an offer for this course today! I also have an offer from Quesns Belfast and am waiting to hear from UCL, reading, and Manchester. UCL is my top choice so I might put Liverpool as my insurance if I get an offer from UCL. My predicted is A*, A, A
