Just to warn you, although the buses are supposed to be every 10 minutes, this is Norwich and buses turn up when they want. There also seems to be a black hole on the route between the back of the station and Morrisons, you'll see buses go past and expect them back round at the station 10 minutes later, but they seem to disappear and never turn up again...

You'll spend many a cold winter evening waiting hours for a bus! Not to put you off or anything :wink:

(and its easier when you live on campus and want to go to town - you can get the 22, 25, 26 or 27 - more chance of one turning up! When you want a specific bus, it'll never turn up!).

City and campus are fab. Only thing is that i think the nightlife is a bit monotonous.

Having said that i am from London so anywhere else is a step down :wink:

i love norwich !

I can't wait to get there!

I think anywhere is a step up nightlife-wise from where I live! :p:

Accomodation ≠ beautiful, i live in norwich, see the grad accom every day, it aint pretty, concrete jungle! Tho they r building sum nice new stuff! T
here are generally busses but they are never on time, if you want a specific bus it'll neva turn up on time, but on the more major routes there are always busses so shud be ok.
Med schl aint that gd apparently, they have 2 many students and sometimes they get split into groups and 1 person from a group goes to a lecture and has to tell every1 else what happened in the lecture! Its known as 'DIY degree in medicine'.

Otha than that norwich is a nice place 2 live in :smile:

I've only wandered round it, while going for an interview to Norwich School of Art and Design (though I have a UEA offer).

As far as I can see... shopping is good, lots of cafes, nice and pretty (a city with a Cathedral is always nice, and Norwich cathedral looks suspiciously like the cathedral in my city). Impossible to navigate when in a hurry, though, and the cobbles are murder in heels. But not too hilly. Wouldn't mind 3 years there, no sir.

OP

That is such a judgemental comment about Norwich and especially UEA. When considering that you dont go to UEA and dont do medicine, i would suggest that you are in no position to comment(like me, who does History). Who gives a damn that your parents or whatever are Doctors-i know loads of ppl who love medicine at UEA. Concrete jungle for accomodation? hello? Uea has new and brill acommodation and we all love the concrete. frankly you sound a bit of a typical private school snob-get back to your A-Levels, work hard and clear off to Cambridge. I live at home, the buses are ok and LEARN TO DRIVE LIKE ME if you dont like it, i am sure you would have no prob with it. i am sorry if i offend anyone, but i just wanna defend the place we all love and for some is home. coments like yours are really unhelpful, please everyone ignore it, uea is much better. :mad:

--------------

why are you on UEA forum and commenting, i see from your profile, that you have not even applied to UEA-so why comment on something of no influence to you! you have too much time on your hands. :mad:

So glad i came to UEA.

Literally everywhere else seems to be full of snobs. I turned down prestigious universities like UCL and Kings to avoid people like rpotter and i reckon i'm all the better for it.

UEA has to be the most down to earth university in the country and, Mr rpotter, was shortlisted in the top 4 universities in the country for student satisfaction. So you have a miserable time wherever you go, i know i'll be having too much fun to care about your elitist snobbery.

K, thats all fair enuff rly. All i was saying was that ive heard that sometimes the teaching for medicine isnt up t scratch, thats not my opinion, its just the opinion of some (obviously they may well be in the minority) medical students. Yer wud agree that the new accommodation looks beau, just saying that i personally dont like the old stuff. Tho course there are loadsa gd points 2 UEA, i mean it has gd links with the hospital and the sports centre is amazing! I regularly play sports there and the facilities rly are top notch. About the buses I was just saying that some of the buses (I dont get any buses to the university so dont know about them) are quite unreliable, but on the major routes the bus service is ussually very gd.

However I dont rly think it is fair to label ppl who apply to cambridge as snobs

erm, i think uea buses are brill compared to the rest of the city. like my area, 1 bus in 2 the city each hour and half the tiem it dont even turn up (so glad i can drive now!), and its not as if i live in the middle of nowhere or anything. :frown:

so what do you all think of Norwich?!
