Interview at Southampton..

Anybody else received an invite to interview at Southampton?!
I've got mine for Philosophy & Economics...

Think i'm probably going to go to the December 3rd visit day as the January 14th is in the middle of exams!

Do Southampton interview for all courses?

it will say on your letter if it's an interview as well. they don't interview for all subjects so you could be lucky!

until you've been to a visit day, they won't offer you a place.

Yup thats the one, and my plane gets in at about 8.30am! PLus my older brother told me it has propellors...should be a fun flight! Hehe, might see you there, even though i guess archaeology will do their tour separately.

Ive already been inside the main building at Avenue and their its bit dingy on the inside, but still a nice place.

I've not been inside it - couldn't get to Southampton on the open day because the flights from Guernsey were cancelled :-(
The building looks really pretty from the outside though!

So are you travelling by bus to the campus? I've been told to...
Do you know if the bus station is near the airport?! I'm rubbish at navigating my way around!

What are you going to do until the day starts?

My brother is meeting me at the airport so i presume we'll get the unilink bus to the uni. Until the day starts i guess i'll just hang out in his horrible student house!

If you want, ill ask him where the bus station is at the airport for the university bus and get back to you when i find out? (i have no sense of direction either lol)

thankyou! that would be fantastic!
i just don't really want to hang around like a loser...
i mean i will be because i'll be there so early but i'd rather be a loser who knows where she's going rather than one who is just wandering around lost!
any help would be great!

I spoke to him today and he said the bus station is there as soon as you walk out of arrivals :smile:

Because rankings mean everything :rolleyes: Right?

Er....i dont think they do, thank you. What i meant when i said i rank it higher was that i personally prefer that course and university.
Southampton generally do no interviews - even for medicine. It may just be that the philosophy/economics department felt like interviewing you. My guess would be that it was the philosophy department...
