Durham Applicants 2008 Thread

Queenie!

Oh no, the Bailey isn't snobby is it?
I can't hack snobbery.

You will get used to it after a couple of weeks. Even if you are an ardent left winger like myself.

Being on the hill is not a bad thing. Less snobbish.

Surely. And I'm on the hill by choice, so it's all good.

Haha! Here's hoping!
I can't stand Toffs. Makes me /sick/! (in Winnie from Hocus Pocus voice, obviously..!)

I wouldn't be snobbish in the Castle :frown:

Are there ghosts?! Scared now! haha.

MORE Durham Myths MORE!

Well yes I keep hearing that the Castle has ghosts. But whether that is true or not is still to be seen. Perhaps you could update us come October? :p:

Quite a fair few of your peers will be I suspect. Some people there are not snobs though.

No Queenie it isn't snobby. My friends are at Castle and they reckon there are about three rahs in the whole college. Hatfield on the other hand...

My friend applied to Hatfield, and has a deferred offer, and she's regretting it a bit now, as she's looked into it. Bless her!

I was in the castle last night. There are a lot of stairs.

The Keep does look like a proper leg work-out...

Stairs and ghosts. Fancy. I can just see it now. Reblet bidding her friendly resident ghost adieu before retiring for the night.

Durham is pretty.

I fell in love with it and wanted to go there for months before and during my application.

I doubt it. But you can see which college is looking at your application, by checking you AES links.

Given that Hild Bede is a HUGE college in terms of places available and area size (though that has nothing to do with this) you have a chance of being accepted by them. I wouldn't worry about it.

Would you wise people advise against calling Durham and asking when they plan on looking at Combined Honours in Arts/Social Sciences applications?

Seeing as the guy on the phone in December blatantly lied when he said 15th Jan.

Doubt there'll be space or doubt it'll be full? My course is pretty competitive though and most applicants would have applied by the oxford deadline so it's been ages since I've heard from them.

I did check the links and it just said my chosen college but I don't know when it got passed over so could be impending doom!
