nottingham interview ova -thank God!!

[Shaani]

congrats on getting the offer!!
you know, that is a good variety of uni's there. i agree with mm45 that you should choose the uni that seems right for you. i see your from leeds and if you like the city lifestyle then perhaps aston would be a uni to think about.

i've looked round bath and nottingham nd i really liked nottingham! goin 2 look round aston in feb!! but am not so sure i want 2 go to a busy area cuz so much distraction its unbelievable, dats y nottingham cuz the uni has a gud study environment(as it is slightly away 4rm town) nd i can go into the busy town wen i choose to rather than town being around me 24/7!!

for you guys who schooled in london or bustlin areas, didnt u find there were so many distractions and u hardly worked??!!

I have to say Aston is fantastic (but obviously biased). Yes the campus is close to the city centre, but when you are on campus you could be 20 miles away.

The best thing is to visit all the unis and have a look around the city as well. Then think how you'd feel about spending the next four years there.

I agree with Steve (although I'm biased too). Aston is very close to the city centre but when you see the campus, you'll realise that you could easily forget you're in a big city. It's a nice, green self contained campus. You also have the advantage of being in a big city with lots to do without the excessive living costs of London.

u guyz r all obviously for aston ryt?!!! but what about nottingham?? i've heard that its a really rough city to live in as in shootings, gangs etc. i liked the uni campus.
Bath was really pretty but a bit too on the queit side! and its so far away when i had the interview, i had to fly from leeds to bristol nd then got a taxi 4rm bristol to bath!

[mm45]

I cant speak about notts, but im from bristol, well half way between bristol and bath and bath is really nice. Yeah its abit quieter then some larger cities but there are some good clubs and bars about. There are some good places in bristol aswell but travelling between the two is really annoying. Bath is supposed to be very good for pharmacy, but then again all unis must be a similar standard to teach an approved pharmacy course. Although its important you like where you are going to spend the next 4/5 years I recon you will enjoy your time which every uni u go to so dont worry too much just choose the one that feels the best for u.
