St. Andrews Applicants 2009 (deferred 2010)

I think I might possibly be going for Arabic next year, I must be insane! :O
fg08: I do Russian and Spanish, the advanced Spanish course is fairly boring but doable... I love Russian to pieces but it is a LOT of hard work, so if you're not reallycommittedto it and only want a third subject it might be better to go for French or Spanish?

The talk about all these different fun subjects really makes choosing sooo hard. Durham is a year less, and better for my course, but, but, but...

Lol me too ... Im firming either St A or York, I dont know which yet and I havent got a reply from York yet so theres no point deciding You firming St A then?

Thanks, hmm I do not really wanna study the literature of the country I just wanna learn the language, you know.
Do you think it would be better to do Spanish or French as it is my intention to work for an international organization later on.

Hiya,

I've applied for Maths and Physics second year entry. Anyone else had an offer yet? I'm still waiting and since Bath finally replied to me today, it's my last one and I'm getting all edgy!

Hey I wouldnt say they are "fun subjects".
You have to do the same workload as those students who want to graduate in this subject.

If you actually like what you're doing, you don't see it as a workload. At least, I don't. I don't mind the slightest doing my homework for History and English. I read history books for fun. Besides, I'm really good at it too haha.

I mean I also think math is interesting, but I don't think it's fun... so I am not going to study it. (Yeah and I suck at it, but you understand my point right.)

Well, Spanish is probably more helpful as it's more widely spoken... would you be doing the beginner's or the advanced course?

Yeah I just wanted to say that its not just fun but you have to work for it!
But I totally agree with you. I love reading about Politics and Economics so working hard in these subjects is absolutely ok.


I would be doing the beginner's course.
I guess you cant do Chinese at St Andrews, can you?
Yeah I think Spanish would be nice to learn and I really like the sound of Spanish.

No, there are no Chinese courses here. The beginner's course would be good then as I'm pretty sure there's no literature involved

Just got an offer for IR w/Modern History
