Hey. I received an offer too. What do you think of the course. Are you forming it?
I liked how international the syllabus was, but I never got to go to the post-offer day ;(( so I'm not sure if I'll choose it

I am wondering too for a number of reasons. I have booked acccomodation though.
I do not know if it will be the same academic riguour or if the prestige is the same as for other courses of History.
I’ve applied for History with Education at Ulster through extra, however before that I had offers from Dundee, BBB, Winchester, unconditional if firm BBB if not, Newcastle, BBC, and hopefully I get into Ulster if not I will apply to Edge Hill

Update:
I ended up firming Exeter and insuring Nottingham.
I was rejected by Oxford and Durham weirdly offered my Sociology, despite never taking a sociology class in my life. It wasn't what I initially wanted but hopefully, everything turns out for the better.

Hey everyone - I've just graduated from my History degree (which was absolutely amazing!) at UCL. Obviously all unis do things differently, but if anyone has any questions about what studying History is like, ask away!
Also - me and two fellow History students have set up a blog where we talk about student life, which is gonna include some stuff about studying History! it's themillennialdiaries.tumblr.com or @the.millennialdiaries on instagram, so if you have any topics you'd like us to discuss, also let me know!
