Psychology Applicants for 2015 Entry Thread

What's your issue with Coventry? :colondollar:

Don't worry too much about the league tables. It's a Russell Group university and any good degree (2:1 or higher) will look good from a RG uni I'm sure. What's most important in your choice of uni is somewhere you like and want to spend three years!
I've applied for Warwick and was sent an AAB offer :smile:

Hey same I got an offer for AAB, u gonna firm it? I'm confused if I should or not, everyone so telling me it's amazing I got in and I'd be stupid not to, coz it's a RG uni but idek, I think I'll be surer after I visit the uni

Hmm my family told me it used to be rough anyway, but maybe it's changed since then?

Yeah hopefully not - it's so tempting to just keep refreshing Track till I hear from one of the universities, but I'm trying to be patient :tongue:

I applied to Nottingham too, it seemed really nice there! Good luck with everything :biggrin:

Yeah maybe!

It's so difficult to be patient, I just wish York would hurry :frown:

Thank you - I really like Nottingham too. Good luck with you as well!

Aw that's awesome, I am hoping to go to Bristol. :smile:

I have an unrelated question to the uni; does Bristol flood?
Also how interesting do you find the psychology course? Are the facilities good?
And what is it like living in Bristol? I found it to be quiet and relaxing, a change from the city, which really appeals to me, but not too quiet.
And is it expensive? Have you ever struggled to pay rent?

Sorry for the huge amount of questions but it would really help me :biggrin:

Does Bristol flood? Well, it's very hilly so not really... depends on your definition of flood, but it seems here is a lot better than nearby places in the West Country.

The psychology course is interesting and the facilities are decent. We don't have our own building and we don't have our own library. But there is a good computer centre that's psychology's, and the study spaces are all right.

Bristol as a city is fantastic. I think every non-Bristolian student I've talked to loves it here. One of the best cities to be a student imo, it's not as expensive as London but there's a LOT to do, you won't get bored.

It's not hugely expensive but it's not cheap. Rent is high. I personally haven't struggled but I don't know about others, it's kind of a personal thing...

i applied for Queen mary's, King's college, Birmingham, Nottingham and Bangor!
i've got offers of AAB from Birmingham and Nottingham, ABB from Queen mary's and unconditional from Bangor! Still waiting to hear back from King's!
got 3 A*'s, 7A's and 2B's at GCSE but did nowhere near what i wanted at AS (psychology - B Music - B, Biology - C and dropped Chemistry), but my predicted is still AAB, pretty sure my personal statement is what saved me
