Oh that’s great I love english lit it’s great cuz i love reading aswell ! :smile:

I really enjoy classics it’s great to learn about all the ancient hero’s and it’s not that hard too which is sort of a relief for the exams :h:

I’m also excited for September too, slightly nervous tho as it will be really different but I’m sure we’ll all enjoy it! So why did you choose to study japanese? The courses look so great and interesting :biggrin:

Cool! I chose Japanese because I've been into Japan since I was like 10 (had a huge attack on titan and babymetal phase), and I've always wanted to learn Japanese. I've tried on my own a few times but it was hard so I think if I do it at university I'll finally be able to do it :biggrin:

and I really like how there's loads of cultural stuff that you learn about as well. I like the idea of moving to Japan, sounds a but silly but I'd like to work in Disney land there as a Disney Princess, I'm pretty short and they have lower height requirements for their princesses there :biggrin:

but if I can't do that then I'd love to somehow get involved in the entertainment industry there, or I really like working with kids so I wouldn't mind being a teacher: that's my back up if I end up living in England :biggrin:

What about you and Korean? I had a kpop phase a couple of years ago so I learnt a little bit. The grammar with Japanese is actually really similar :biggrin:

Wow that sounds really interesting! Being a Disney princess would be great and super fun! :smile:

Haha, I’m sort of the same I love reading manga too, one of my fav things to do aot is great! :h:

I choose Korean Studies because I knew i wanted to go to university but I wasn’t entirely sure what I wanted to do and in college we had a Korean learning club which I am apart of and I loved it so I decided if i want to go to university I want to do something I will actually enjoy and am super excited to take a year abroad! and Ofc I do love k-pop too haha so that always helped me to get into it!

Wow that’s great, congrats! :h:

I applied for accommodation a few days ago and I had been researching a bit and i’m not really one to be into clubbing or anything so i put down for a quieter room but it’s going to be in Endcliffe/ Ranmoor but i didn’t get to exactly choose I think i’ll get allocated soon. I’m not really a clubber but I like going out for drink, shopping and socialising and stuff hehe just thought this would be better for me! What accom did you apply for? Also what kind of a levels did you do if you did them! :smile:

Haha i’m so excited now meeting people doing similar courses!!
