Aston is not a bad uni, good vibe, good nite life aswell being in brum! Very easy to reach manchester, notts, london if you like going out to thosep laces for a nite out! also guild has a very good atmosphere even more so on shcool uniform night ;-)

As with all unis, lectures could be better, lectururs boring old/overseas farts (some of them). Work load is alot, so work hard and play harder!

Im currently building an online resource to help pharmacy students www.learnpharmacy.co.uk a 1 stop shop for pharmacy students. Any ideas of what would make the academic side of things easier pls let me know! thanks!

Jelly thats the same problem that is making me worried if I get offered a place and need an A in chem that would be a bit of a strech I can only manage a B.

I remember last year, my friends were also made ABB offers, and most that only managed to get BBB were takken in by Aston. I'm can't say for sure that this happens every year, but just thought i'd let u knw..
