This is completely irrelevant to the thread, but I actually just spent a year studying at Warwick and hated it so I dropped out. In September, I will be starting at Sheffield! I can't wait
Sheffield is where it's at. Warwick is decent if you enjoy the little bubble atmosphere, but for me it was just too enclosed when I visited. Sheffield definitely has a good mix of the city vibe but there's also a lot happening on campus too so, you get the best of both tbh.

What did you hate about warwick? Maybe this post will influence others. who knows..
Why did you choose Sheffield? How did you pick them? did you ever look at our Uni of Sheffield Guide? (we have one for most unis i think)
TSR's obsession with the Russell Group universities and Oxbridge made me feel a bit bad about my university choices, but that didn't affect my choices at the end of it. I did manage to get a bit of help from the personal statement builder thing, but then again, the majority of help came from my history teacher. So in conclusion, TSR didn't have much of an influence in my uni application.
I did the same but I have since realised I got help from study help for final year of a level. This may have made the difference of a grade and me making my firm choice.
Oh well, it didn't for me. I only joined after I've made the decision where to go and which programme to confirm.
I originally joined the American equivalent of TSR, but I found the people on there to be incredibly rude. I was thrilled to find TSR. I can't say my choices are based on anything specific, but since I can't visit, I rely a lot on other users.
There's a bit on the NA sub-forum. And I'm on College Confidential - the sister TSR site.
Maybe, if I have time - and if anyone would bother to find it useful.
What about yourself?
What level of study are you at, or are you working etc.
College confidential is nothing to do with TSR btw.
Yea, people would find it very useful. You could write articles for the wiki with what you know so far and start threads to get others to join in and help.
I just finished a chemistry masters degree and about 30 minutes ago got offered a project scientist job.
Atm i'm working at TSR over the summer, helping out with results day etc.

Most of TSR users are very helpful and polite i find. You get the odd weird threads but in the university sections i find it to be nice whereas the only american forum i've seen is terrible.
Which country are you living in atm and where are you applying for?

Oh ok, if I have the time then I will.
Wow nice, I find Chemistry to be the hardest A Level, but a lot of fun nevertheless. Everyone loves benzene
Aha nice have fun with that, CC is a lot difficult to navigate than TSR, but still helpful.
I'd already decided where I wanted to apply when I joined TSR. My subject's only offered by a few universities so it was just a case of visiting them and deciding which one I liked the best, which ended up being Sheffield. Cannot wait to go back in September!
