"Uni Interview Tomorrow (tips/advice)"

I've got a uni interview for my Journalism course at Edge Hill (before you ask where it is, it's in Ormskirk in Lancashire), meaning I have to get up at 5am (whoopie) and arrive there about 10.

Before I get into a rant about the cost of the trains, I was wondering if anyone can give me any general tips about interviews for unis, preferably with people who have had the experience of having been through one.

I've got general tips like "read the papers before you go in so you can talk about news stories" and "be able to refer to things on your personal statement" - just wondering if anyone could offer me anything else.


Truth be told I'm not nervous as this isn't vital to me. That and I'm uber-cool.

I just got a conditional offer from Central Lancashire (BBB), and have two others in the proverbial bank.

Thanks for any advice thrown my way.

Oh, they'll offer it alright. They'll probably do every single sport you can imagine, and a few you can't. They're a sports college, basically. That's their bag. It's the place you go to do subjects like Sports Science and Sports Psychology, essentially glorified PE. For people who like to think they're slightly academic.

I'll ask if you want

Oh... damn, that was a waste of brain time.

I've just applied.

I really don't know the history.

Been getting at me for a while, but now I finally remember! Edge Hill was famous for a battle between the Cavaliers (Charles I) and the... other guys (Cromwell), right?

Good to know I don't forget everything learnt pre-college.

Should I spell it "winnah" ?

It's a "vocational" place, which sounds rather lame, but its good for a journalism course because you get elbow-deep in ink and stuff.

Don't go to Edge Hill - it's so sports orientated it's a joke. They'll probably force you to take up some kind of physical activity.

Ormskirk is a teeny little farm-village thingy.

Only 4 people live there.

So it's impossible to get direct trains.

The LOSERS.

I dont know how they expect people to get there for 9.30, I had to ring up and request I arrived at 10 else I'd have to get the 3am train there.
