"University 2005"

I realise that some people on this forum (including myself) are planning to go to university next year, and I figured it'd be nice to see who was going and how far they have got with their UCAS application.

I received my confirmation letter from UCAS the other day to say they have received my application, all I can do now is wait..

The university's/courses I have applied for are

University of Lincoln: Games Computing
University of Lincoln: Computing
Sheffield Hallam: Software Development (Games) - Offer - not for this course, however
Northumbira University: Computer Games Software Engineering - Offer
Nottingham Trent University: Computer Science (Games Technology) - Offer

I have received 3 offers so far.

What universitys have you applied for? Had any offers/Rejections yet?

Yeah, inside is excellent... outside looks like some Stalinistic hight rise.

Mine too. Great campus, terrible buildings.

Define decent uni..

Anyway, I got an offer.

Sheffield Hallam - but get this, NOT for the course I wished to do!

Instead, I got offers for: -

Computing
Software Engineering
ICT

Not bad huh?

My Uni is cool

Even if some parts are crappy 1960's inspired.

One that has good teaching staff, good teaching facilities, high rate of top degrees?

what exactly is a crap uni? what would you define as being a good one? one acceptable of your standards?

I would much rather the fees be based on how much your parents earn rather than how many hours you do, even after saying that, because otherwise we'd see even fewer people doing long courses with lots of hours. We've already got a shortage of NHS staff, and that would only make it worse.

I've only seen one person applying to a 'decent uni' and they're not even gonna accept the placement!

You kids and your crap unis.

Good luck on your interview. I went to an interview for peterhouse and everyone there was REALLY nice and were all like "you'll get in ..definitely..." I didnt get in. lol. Anyway the hobos there are nice too.

Hm, missed this, may as well whack a reply up:

Cambridge (Emmanuel)
Edinburgh
Sheffield
Leeds
Newcastle
SOAS (School of Oriental and African Studies)

All to do Chinese Language, history and politics, with whatever name the various places give to the course.

Offers from Leeds, Sheffield and Newcastle thus far, and got a Cambridge interview in a month or so..
