I got an offer from both but declined UCL, the course didnt appeal to me after I went down to see them and KCL seemed nicer and the bar looked cool lol

Ive heard similar things all round the place, apparently it was a bit up its own ass on the open days... along with being very rude. My brother tells me (hes just finished UCL) that there are quite a few research orientated professors now... not your typical I want to teach and see my students flourish type. Meh to them!

I think I'll be even rarer...a Northern Irelander lol


:rock: I could listen to NI accents, like, all day, forever... :love:

wrt intercollegiate rivalry though, how seriously is it actually taken? I was at Durham Uni a couple of years ago and some people took the rivalry just a little bit too seriously for my tastes.

TBH, not that seriously anymore! Only in relation to the sports teams etc. Gone are the days of concrete pits and castrating mascots!

Reggie is now set in concrete so they can't kidnap him anyway :p:

I heard about that! What did KCL do to get UCL back- take the stuffed body? (I would've :wink: )

If I remember correctly, something was stolen but i'm not sure whether it was the creepy body or not...as legend has it, football was played with the head of whatever it was though :p:

I just got back from the law open day. It's incredible - I absolutely love it, really the open day has swung it for me. Definitely going to firm King's now :biggrin:

thanks, that's great to hear :smile: just gotta tell my parents I'm choosing it (and deal with a barrage of "so you're definitely not going to Durham then?") and then I'll click the red button :biggrin:

:laugh:

I suggest you hit all of the "so you're definitely not going to Durham then?" people with a large stick.

Or beat them with a KCL prospectus.

Your choice :biggrin:

Omg every day my mum peeks her head through my bedroom door and says all sweetly and softly "so...... there's no way you can reapply to Oxford again next year?". I didn't even get an offer from them!!! Leave it!

:wtf?: IT GETS BORING.
