Congrats on your offer!
I applied on the 7th, got my first offer on the 8th, two on the 17th and one on the 23rd. I heard from my 5th on the 17th too but they want an interview in February so it'll be a while before I get theirs!

Yeah my first offer was from one of my back ups but it felt good just to have one! I know a lot of people who haven't had any offers yet and one friend who got all of hers in two days so it really just depends!

Newcastle's computer course have very interesting modules and allow you to specialise in the later years which I really like as I'm not sure on what area of computer science I want to go into. Also, the uni has very interesting research in computer science areas and the new urban science building is very nice and seems like a very modern building to work in.
