University of West England Applicants 2015

I only lived in a city (Exeter) and it was really on the outskirts, for 8 months as a kid so I want to live in the city for once instead of the countryside! Oh yeah I see:/ I'm just going to go to the open day in March and have a look around!

I'm the same except much further north! Think I'll go to the applicant day and that'll hopefully make my decision as to whether I want to go to UWE, then I can firm it. Then I'll go to the open day to decide on accommodation just before applications start :-)

Aha I see well I'm even further south now! Good idea, I've made UWE my firm already which I know I will get into! Im going to the Open Day to really just confirm that I want to go to Marketgate, but I'm pretty certain I'm going anyway if I get a position. They start doing accommodation end of March don't they! Which we had an exact date!

Think I'm definitely going to be one of the most northern people at UWE:') Yeah, I think it's really good that you can apply so early because that way they allocate accommodation in April/May, then you've got the summer with nothing to worry about, unlike people at other Uni's.

You up Newcastle way? Imagine what the international students are like!? Yeah that's the good thing... Get it all sorted early and you don't have to worry!

Not quite that far north, Manchester! When you planning on doing student finance?

Oh right, I have UCLan in Preston as my insurance! It's just quite far away for me! You gonna be long way from home but you will most likely love it! As soon as possible really, I've registered, just can't apply yet as they haven't put the stuff on their website

Yeah I know, I might struggle at first! Most people from the north go to Uni's up here, nobody really ventures down south:') Same here, I want to get it done so I know how much I've got to spend on accommodation.

Same down south too, everyone was saying how north Preston was haha! Yeah exactly it's nice to know how much (or should I say little) you have to spend! Oh the struggle :/

The furthest south any of my friends have gone is Birmingham:') I might have to go for city centre accommodation if I don't get much allowance... Student life at its finest isn't it!

I see and that ain't too South anyway! To be fair I don't think it's much cheaper anyway! Oh yeah I know right! Need a small part time job while at Uni!

I've got a job sorted, thankfully! The Uni advertises loads of jobs apparently so I'm sure you'll find something :-)

Already? Lucky what's it involve? Yeah I'm sure I will find something for extra cash!

The joy that is retail haha!


Posted from TSR Mobile

Who doesn't love retail eh? Haha! I'm a cinema assistant at a small local cinema!

Aw, that's cute haha!

Haha it's a lot easier than being a waiter that's for sure!

Yeah im pretty sure that's the case to be honest, and i have my results already so theres no rush or anything atm! I applied for digital art and technology at Plymouth, Mobile technology at UWE and multimedia web design at Gloucestershire. So including my first choice which is digital media at UWE there are only 4! I hope i get offers from all to be honest. I think Plymouth would be my last resort since its pretty far down south compared to Bristol. No offers yet, haven't been able to get onto track yet though as i have not received my welcome letter in the post!

Nice choices! I also applied for MWD at Gloucester & really wanted to apply for DA&T at Plymouth but didnt have the A-Level points (went for Internet Design instead which looks kinda the same). Plymouth is pretty far away from anywhere but the city is really beautiful and it's nowhere as expensive to get a good room there (compared to Bristol).
And you should be able to get onto track without the post letter; they shouldve sent you a welcome email with the details & another email if something changes (ie you get an offer/rejection). Dont think anyone could be doing with hanging around waiting for two weeks tbh...

Awesome, so you pretty much have applied for the same uni's and courses as me! Yeah just looked through some emails and discovered it, i somehow missed it haha. Tried to log in then but there doing maintenance till monday -_- just my luck hahaha!
