Any idea how's the student crowd like? I understand that Brighton is mainly catered for working adults. What's the mean age of the OSPAP students and the background?

Mean age: I don't know but the range is quite large from mid twenties up to the unmentionable ages . I know a few people who commute regularly to Glasgow or Edinburgh to see family.

As far as background is concerned this year we are a very diverse group with different and I am the only hospital pharmacist from Zimbabwe, I expect that this years lot will be just as varied.

We share quite a few sessions with the undergraduate students, of these I would say mostly in their twenties, a very lively bunch of students. If you do social networking look for the Bebo and facebook RGU groups to see whats type of activities are happening. I feel too old to party so I just hang out with a few friends.

I found choosing a place very hard so I just chose the city where I have two friends, didn't want Brighton due to the expense and its reputation as a wild city.

All the best with your choice,
