Uhh I think so Have you visited reading? Its the only one of my uni's I hadnt visited before I applied so I'm looking forward to seeing it actually!
Yeah I've been up two or three times, my friend's in his 1st year so I've been up to visit him! It's such a good campus, I can't even explain it.. our campus is seperate from the main one but it's literally like a five/ten minute walk and our campus looks like Hogwarts wooooooo. When's your interview for there?
Ahh that sounds good was thinking of wearing something similar! ahh that sounds really lovely, haha good book! okay..think i'm going to have a look round my local library tomorrow ) do you basically say what you could teach the children from the book? ahh that's really great, well done you! good luck i've applied to winchester, chichester, brighton and uwe bristol what are your firm and insurance choices?
I mean I'd insure Trinity...exams are clearly destroying my brain, haha

Ohhh that sounds so nice... Really struggling to decide what my back up will be if I get offers from Northumbria and reading as well as Brooke's .. Umm it's the 13th feb, yours ??
Hi why is Winchester your favourite? I've been offered a place there too but I don't know if I like it there yet. lol. It's my 2nd fave.
haha! I just loved it, it was my second last open day so I'd already seen Cardiff Met and Bath Spa, and the campus at Winch' is so beautiful. All the students were really friendly, and the course sounds great, they have an awesome rep for teacher training and it's just in the right place for me, about 1 1/2 hours from home. I liked all the accommodation too I dunno, just everything about it I loved and aw just talking about it is getting me excited for September
Fingers crossed it'll go quickly up until then! Ah nice I'm actually from Bath haha, Bath Spa is lush - I'd apply there if it wasn't a 10 minute drive from my house... have you had your Reading interview already then? I've applied to Reading, Plymouth, Leeds Met, Worcester and Brighton - been given interviews for all of them, had an offer from Worcester and still waiting to hear back from Plymouth! Leeds Met is the only one I haven't seen but I've heard good things about it and my interview's on Tuesday (if I can get there because of snow haha)
I'm from Yeovil, so it's pretty close for me too, about an hour. Yep, I've had my Reading interview: it went the worst, I think, out of all of them, but I'm getting a bit impatient waiting around for them now, I've emailed them as they said I'd hear in a week and now it's been 8 1/2 weeks!! Good luck with hearing back and getting to Leeds, ha, the snow is ok round Yeovil at the moment, the roads seem to be clear anyway

Ah cool! Why did it go the worst? What specialism was it? Whaaaaaaat that's so long to wait! I'd keep ringing them, they'll have to reply at some point.. haha thankyou! My mum's worried we won't get there but the railway is clear apparently so fingers crossed it'll be okay yeah the roads are clear here too but still!
Yeah it's lush! Cannot fault it at all are none of them your first choice then? 20th march, got sooooo long to wait!
Nah Durham is my first choice and I've already got an offer there so it's just deciding if I want Brooke's where I have an offer, Northumbria or reading as my back up
Got a rejection from Plymouth for the Primary Ed course but an offer to do Education Studies there instead, anyone know what this is like?
Hi I was offered this at St Mary's. It is basically a start into teaching but also has more opportunities I think. As in you wouldn't HAVE to become a teacher. Perhaps something else in education though. You would have to do pgce though afterwards if you wanted to teach. I asked ST Mary's why I'd been offered this instead and they said it was because I didn't talk enough about my school work experience in my personal statement. Every uni is different though as I have been offered three places I would recommend asking for feedback if you wanted it. But that is what I know of the course

It was music spec.: I have anxiety disorder and I just lost all composure haha, my reading was so bad (even though I did my favourite book ever!). My audition was last, at 4:30 or something like that, so I was waiting around for ever, and then when I went in, sat at the piano, and then the interviewer said he was going to get some paperwork and left for about 15 minutes. I was like WHAT'S HAPPENING?! So I won't be surprised if I've completely messed it up. I just want to know!!

Ah okay, thankyou! I was trying to find out more info but didn't find the website particularly helpful... I've told them I'm interested but it'll be my absolute absolute back up, such as if my maths skills test goes horrifically wrong. I've asked them for feedback so hopefully I'll find out soon!

Aw no that's such a shame! Maybe they'll take that into consideration? What book did you do? That's so so weird that he left you, wouldn't help the nerves at all! Poor you

Ah cool! Uuuuum I'd probably go for the one that has the lowest grades if you really can't choose? Just as a safe option in case anything terrible happens..

Yes that was what I was going to do, but then I passed my QTS tests first time so it wasn't an issue in the end Th course I was offered was education and social science. But I'm not doing that one
