Hi everyone, I'm Hannah
Course: English literature
Offer: AAA
A-level subjects: English literature, History and Religious Studies
College applied to: St Mary's because I couldn't make it all the way up the hill to look at Trevelyan.
Why Durham?: Ever since I visited on a school trip I loved it and have always dreamt of going there and now it may become a reality. I love how traditional it is and everyone seems so friendly.
Update: I got into John Snow College and thought I would hate it but its actually really nice so Durham will probably be my firm now!
