Anyone for History?

Just wondering, do you think people starting a language from scratch are at a disadvantage?

To be honest, none of my friends did Italian/Spanish from scratch so I can't really comment. Everyone did French or German. But I wouldn't think that you would be at a disadvantage, since other people also would be!

Have any of you looked at the history modules yet? I can advise you what's supposed to be good.

Yeah, I have to confess I've spent far too much time looking at the module lists! XD
I liked the idea of History and the Novel, but the novels didn't really seem that interesting, if that makes any sense! Any opinions on it?
What about the South Asian modules, are they any good?

I'm a little late, but I loved the Open Day!! I'm 99% sure Warwick will by my firm (which means I won't have an insurance). I think I'll go for the Modern History stream, and either Post A-Level French, Post-GCSE Spanish or Italian from scratch. Not sure!

Hi!

Wow, you have a lot of language options!
The Open Day was really good! Which one did you go to?

It was March 4th? If that was the Wednesday? I'm a worried about being homesick though I'm sure it's not just me!

Yeah, I hope so! My friend who goes there atm is reassuring me that it's amazing once you get there I'm still looking out for the accomodation section to come up online!

I finally made Warwick my firm today, even though I got all my decisions in Jan, and had been pretty sure it was my firm since then! It was really scary, making it final, plus I'd been having insurance dilemmas. Feels good now, though

Well done!
I was really indecisive about the whole thing too.
Where's your insurance, if you don't mind me asking?

Insurance is Bristol but I was torn between that and Southampton because I live in Bristol and I really don't want to stay at home. Still, hopefully it will be motivation to get the grades- so excited about Warwick now!

Debating between Warwick and exeter at the moment! Going to go visit the place in a week or so.

I was also torn between warwick and exeter! Chose Warwick in the end though.

Why'd you choose Warwick in the end?

Visited both places and felt like I'd fit in better at warwick. From the open day, I felt that the history staff at warwick seemed so passionate, approachable and that they really knew their stuff. It might have been that the open day I went to at warwick was much smaller than the exeter one, but I felt like I'd get more support and would also be pushed harder at warwick. To me, it also seemed like oppurtunities at warwick would help me career-wise more than at exeter.

It was a tough decision though, I thought the exeter campus was nicer and both courses are fantastic and from the league tables it seems like there's barely anything between the departments. Good luck choosing!
