I haven't been to a cambridge open day. I went to oxford only, and that was last year. I have been to the city of cambridge though. Oh, I also have a possible placement in cambridge. Would have been nice to have started it before making my decision.
A college in one is not that different from a college in the other. Both universities are equally difficult to get into, the course structure is very similar for medicine, the teaching style is almost identical and so the main factor is the city.
I quite liked both cities and I am quite adaptable so that I enjoy most places anyway as long as the people are diverse.
I'm thinking of just going for an open application for colleges, because I haven't seen them anyway and will probably enjoy any of them. Is that a fine idea? Anything i need to consider?
Urgh...its getting really messy trying to decide, I mean I haven't been around cambridge medical dept either, but the facilities are obviously up to scratch. Um...do cambridge do the computer-based learning stuff?
Sbailey, and others, would you mind letting me know what other unis you applied to? I need to think of another too. I got Cambridge?, Bristol, Cardiff, and then ....Soton? But they are all very much the more competitive and I need a possible safety althought thats unlikely with medicine anyway. Especially because this is my second year applying to uni.
UMmm... you reckon cambridge will be more competitive because its tops this year? I really should not be thinking about scraping in as the last possible choice for the uni should I.
