Official Durham Applicants Thread 2011

Same here for Archaeology are you going to the open day? i'm going on the 23rd but not staying over the night before

Oh I am not sure yet it depends on my parents and the school. They don't actually let us go to open days! But I doubt they'd enforce that and I really want to see the department and college, yet just had a look at the prices for a flight there cheapest so far is £250! And I have to travel to get the airport in my country as well... ughhhh

ouch, that's a lot of money for just one day. If you can't make it i can let you know what i think of it but obviously different things will appeal to us i'm sure. But have a think, if there's anything majorly important that will sway your decision either way, let me know and i'll keep my eye out

Haha, snap.. Or at least that what I thought, until I turned 18 last week and no one's ID'd me since, so apparently I'm not as baby-faced as I thought What time are you getting there?

I thought it'd be a night of chess, but looks like it's going to be awesome.

I guess you're going to Grey too
What subject have you applied for?

I thought it'd be a night of chess, but looks like it's going to be awesome.

About half 2.. how about you?
I hope I'm not going to be the only one there at that time.

It depends. I have unconditional offers to study economics from UCL, SOAS, and Durham. If LSE rejects me, I'm not sure which I'll choose.

What about you?

Haha, I think there's an option of staying in college or going out, not sure what I'd pick as I don't do well on an 8am start with a hangover What about you? Hi, by the way, assuming you're going to Grey too?

I am indeed, but definitely choosing the night out!
Sounds like it'll be worth feeling a bit rough in the morning :P

That's what I always think - and then I always feel differently in the morning What subject? I'm history

Geology
I think it'll be a great opp to see what it's like at night, because i've heard it can be a bit quiet :/

I've applied for Geology
you?

Yeah, I know what you mean. Someone I know who goes there now was saying don't believe that though, because it's basically a student town which means you get cheap nights out every day of the week - obviously more quiet than massive cities like London (which is where I live now) but not boring. And to be honest I can't wait to get out of a big city

Maths
21/22 open day ?

Being a fellow Londoner; anywhere's going to be cheap after London!

I know, it'll be lovely Whereabouts in London are you? (not in a creepy way)

"Norf Weezy" or in real life North West
Good ol' Metropolitan line!
you?

North-West-ish too, more just north actually. Northern line for me How come you're leaving it for uni?
