and so are you.
your totally spamming our wonderful thread with your complaining.
we have another boring year of colleg to attend to, whilst you go and get to party being freshers.
at least let us enjoy this simple little thread.
its not taking up alot of room on the forum and and its not like the 2007 one has been taken off sticky yet.

Oh and your durham application 07 thread started before this one so you stole the year before you's thunder.:p: I think we should look upon it as somewhat of a TSR tradition, showing the eagerness of all us students :biggrin:

In case any of you haven't found this yet, there are virtual tours and video clips (for about half the colleges; I expect more will be up soon) to help you choose:

Course: Anicent, Medieval and Modern History
College: Hatfield. I know people claim it's full of 'rahs', which puts me off a bit, but the words 'rugby' and 'beer' seem to feature prominently in all descriptions, which seems like a clear benefit.
Course: Combined Social Sciences
College: Josephine Butler

Sent my UCAS application yesterday :smile:
