I hope to play both for one of Collingwood teams and maybe hockey for a lower general uni team depending how good ppl are cause I haven't played for a couple years, and yh its a pm rn but hopefully some more ppl will show up soon
I got collingwood as my first choice for earth sciences and chose it because I'm relatively sporty and it seems like a nice place to be. Pretty excited!

Not 100% sure that I want to choose durham as my firm choice but I think I will.

Probably tennis and hopefully I can get back into football there as well! I'd also like to try some new ones that I haven't really played before, so that'll be cool

I applied to imperial, leeds bristol and liverpool as well. I think I'll firm durham and put bristol as my insurance, even though it was close between imperial and Durham.

Good to hear many of us getting our first choice college
Hey guys! Just got allocated to Collingwood too (first choice) for an offer in liberal arts, what are you all studying? I applied for Collingwood because people say its like a big family and also because of the theatre scene and the sports, since i'm a netballer :smile:
