5th years applying to uni?

Are any other 5th years applying to uni this year? I was wondering because the start date for my course is right after I turn 17 and I feel like everyone else in my dorm and on my course will be older than me. Anyone else in the same position?

Couple of people on my course came straight from 5th year, I'd say there fine.

It's good to know that there will be another. What course is it you are doing and what uni?

Right now I think I am going to Robert Gordon for adult nursing but applied to Cali as well for the same course, still waiting to hear back from Cali but I got an offer from RGU

I haven't heard back from RGU yet, but they send you a e-mail with a rejection if your rejection so I'm not worried yet! Cali are taking forever as well!
Also what conditional did they give you?

3 C's at higher and a pass in int 2 maths, I am a boy though so I think they only gave it to me to fill their quotas to be honest. I am happy though RGU is my first choice at the moment ever since I had my Dundee interview on Tuesday and hated it.

Yeah I traveled from outside Glasgow and stayed overnight the day before my interview. It's about a 3-4 hour journey from where I am. What about yourself?

Yeah RGU is my first choice as well, but it's a very expensive city and I don't know if my bursary and whatever part time work I could get while I am not on placement would cover the cost of a dorm and food and drink.

I know it is very expensive, I have a couple thousand saved from my part time job right now so hopefully that will help!
