ChoccyPhilly: University Choices

ChoccyPhilly 01.07.15	Band are from university places. Quite the dilemma eh? Any thoughts, sputnik?
TalonsOfFire 01.07.15	5 is the best album on this list so go there
ExcentrifugalForz 01.07.15	I hear oxford is a good party school
ChoccyPhilly 01.07.15	But 4 is the best album on this list
Mort. 01.07.15	i applied for UEA (twice, two different courses) and Reading as my main choices and Hertfordshire and Nottingham Trent as my backups
Mort. 01.07.15	oh and good luck man. Hope you get where you want. theres always clearing aswell after that
ChoccyPhilly 01.07.15	Good choices, mort! Good luck to you too. You still trying for Philosophy
Mort. 01.07.15	yeah. got an offer from uea last year but had to reject it for erm, complicated reasons haha. also doing 2 external retakes (eg i go into to college to do the exams and thats it, dont have to go in throughout the year, do all my studying at home) basically i just fucked up one exam last year for reasons not even to do with the content, im still pretty pissed of about it because i put a lot of hard work in.
KrazyKris 01.07.15	Not that I know anything about that AAB, BBC, FBI shit (I mean, their letters, but that's it for me). Reading all this and being an anti-social guy I'd say aim for York and stay away from Surrey. I don't know, how important that whole music & party point is for you, therefore can't judge really. But odds are you're gonna spend more time worrying about your studies than about which concert to go to, so it seems logical to rather look at it from an educational point of view. Then again, if you're just a lazy assed guy like about 90% of students and just want to study anything cause uni life is so great, then Leeds it is.
Mort. 01.07.15	oh yeah i went to leeds open day, was one of my choices last year, nice place
ChoccyPhilly 01.07.15	Good luck then, Mort. @kris Do you do the numbered system? It's not so much that i'll be out partying every night but I want the option. Same with the music scene, which I see myself being more a part of.
Trebor. 01.07.15	do you guys have community college? cuz that's where I go
ChoccyPhilly 01.07.15	Yeah, I think you're talking about the Open University...... i think
TalonsOfFire 01.07.15	But seriously you should go wherevers the best fit for you, and whoever gives you the most money back is also a factor, but it's not easy dude try visiting a couple if you can that makes a huge difference, good luck im sure you'll make the right call
JJKeys 01.07.15	I live near Leeds, it's a nice enough place and the uni is pretty sweet, especially for my course. As for the music scene, it's pretty damn good - you have the First Direct Arena, the O2 Academy, The Key Club, Brudnell Social Club, Belgrave Music Hall, The Wardrobe, and the recently deceased Cockpit (RIP, it was easily the best venue by far) as well as others that I can't remember at this moment in time It's my first choice now that Oxford has rejected me - maybe I'll see you there
ChoccyPhilly 01.07.15	They all have applicant days, so I'm going to them except maybe Aberdeen because that would cost over 200 quid but it's nice to lay down my thoughts right now
ChoccyPhilly 01.07.15	@JJ cheers for the thoughts. You going to the applicant day?
JJKeys 01.07.15	On the 28th? Yuss
ChoccyPhilly 01.07.15	ahh nice. I think mine's on a different day to that. What did you apply for?
Tunaboy45 01.07.15	I'd say York mate
Mad. 01.07.15	Damnit York with their slow decisions, still waiting for an answer too Can't say I know much about any of the other unis though
Artuma 01.07.15	"But 4 is the best album on this list" far from that
Tunaboy45 01.07.15	If you go to York and you're ever in the north east, hit me up haha
ChoccyPhilly 01.07.15	This list ranked: 4, 2, 3=5. haven't heard 1 @mad I know right. i know some people who applied in october and still don't have a reply from york. I applied mid dec, so it's a little less frustrating. Where else did you apply to?
JJKeys 01.07.15	Geophysics; the course at Leeds is the best I've seen in the UK because of the freedom of choice within the course. Oxford was a tad too Geology and Paleontology based for my liking.
KrazyKris 01.07.15	@Choccy Actually, I don't even know what they're for. Are those some grades you need to get in your entry exams? If so, we haven't any on Austrian universities. At least in most branches, they started again with those in medicine, journalism & philosophy, cause they are so overrun. We have them in our version of college though. And for party/music vs. education: Of course everyone wants both and usually people compromise on something that offers both with certain limitations rather than focussing on one that is really the best for either of those options. My unspecific advice would be to find out which one is more important for you right now and make your decision after that. If you compromise on both, you could end up being frustrated about something more often than necessary
ChoccyPhilly 01.07.15	@JJ Fair enough. it seems that you made the best choice then. @Kris yes, the grades I stated next to each university are their requirement grades, coined as conditional offers. I have no idea how the austrian system works but I thought most universities work like that. There's so much more to it than party/music vs. education. That only comes into place for Leeds vs. York vs. Aberdeen and even then, there are other things to think about. the more opinions i get, the better really.
JJKeys 01.07.15	But Oxford was Oxford, man! It's such a lovely and quaint place - there were people sitting on a flight of steps on a public footpath just reading If you did that in Bradford you'd get stabbed
ChoccyPhilly 01.07.15	haha obviously, who wouldn't want to go for oxbridge? Leeds can't be that bad anyway. It definitely won't have the same aspirational ethos but it's not like Kent or something
KrazyKris 01.07.15	@Choccy Sure there's more. I mean, Aberdeen raises the question, how attached you are to your family & friends. It is a damn long way. And as a student away from my hometown (I am neither student nor away from my hometown, but anyway) one of the first things I'd think about would be money. The cheaper everyday life is, the better. At least if your parents aren't gonna pay for anything you want. On the other hand looking at the reputation of students & professors of those unis might be quite good too. I guess, you'll always find people you like, but still different unis attract different characters. And the last point might not be relevant to you, still you don't seem like the kind of guy that has to prove something or is craving for success. So why not look for the one that's unlikely to give you a hard time throughout those years. I think the reputation of a university is quite important in the UK when looking for a job, but unless you are out for big money (which you aren't, cause biotechnology) it might not be that important.
ChoccyPhilly 01.07.15	it's not attachment, it's more about trouble. My parents both warn me that if I go to Aberdeen, I'm further away from financial help and that's already a big concern. I'll be away from home in all these universities but if I'm £100 or £150 quid from a one way ticket to london (where the family are at), it's a hefty price to pay if i run into financial calamity. I'll look at the reputation of professors when I go to applicant days but they all offer quality is what I'm saying. yeah, it's debated whether uni rankings mean a lot to employers but it's definitely quite important in the uni culture here. they all offer good career prospects with York being the most advantageous, so it's not something I'm too worried about.
zakalwe 01.07.15	Fuck it off and go on the dole
ArsMoriendi 01.07.15	I have a friend who goes to York.
ChoccyPhilly 01.07.15	York University, Canada of the actual University of York?
ArsMoriendi 01.07.15	The actual University of York. He's English.
afoolonahill 01.07.15	Hey man, Cardiff's great. You'll love us Welsh ;)
ChoccyPhilly 01.07.15	You mean sheep, right? ;)
afoolonahill 01.07.15	bendigedig!
JJKeys 01.07.15	>Cardiff's great milkshootsoutofmynose.gif
JJKeys 01.07.15	The best place I've visited was Bath - it's a shame I changed my mind what course I wanted though, the town and uni are both just lovely
ChoccyPhilly 01.07.15	Bath didn't do my course :( and I'd like to go to a russel group uni too cos of their industry contacts/funding into research etc. Just gives me a greater career prospect
flabbywhale 01.07.15	Leeds is good, i'm in my third year
afoolonahill 01.08.15	Haha fuck you guys! I'm 2nd year at university of bristol. Didn't know there were biotech degrees
KrazyKris 01.08.15	@Choccy Well, seems like your the kind of guy for the golden mean. And for that Leeds seems to be the most fitting choice. Not as financially risky as Aberdeen, not as difficult to get into a Cardiff and it has more to offer on the fun side of life than both York & Surrey. Leeds it is!
ChoccyPhilly 01.08.15	Actually Leeds and York are probably the hardest to get into out of the 5 choices but thanks for your input. @fool it's a recent degree that only started up a couple of years ago I think. Bristol do it too but they wanted chemistry, sadly.
elcrawfodor 01.08.15	As a Yank, I'm going with Leeds simply because The Who's Live at Leeds is incredible.
Mad. 01.08.15	@Choccy I'm doing film production, applied to Met Film School, York, Falmouth, Westminster & Bournemouth Arts
sspedding 01.08.15	Leeds is the party city. Depending on how studious (or not) you are this might be something you should think about. I didn't do any work for best part of a year when I was there. York is the opposite (but admittedly a beautiful city). Cardiff is a city that has had loads of investment over the last ten years and is on the up. That'd be a good shout. Don't know about Surrey or Aberdeen but I'm assuming Surrey is in Guildford which is pretty nice.
CalculatingInfinity 01.08.15	You put far, far more thought into your University choises then I did. Wish you the best man :]
Archelirion 01.08.15	Haha, by the time I applied all the criteria I wanted for a university I only had 4 choices :P I've heard things about all of these places bar Leeds and Cardiff, and they've been generally positive about them. Surrey has a good rock scene, as does Leeds, and York has cheap-as-hell alcohol (if you're into that sort of thing). Prepare for it to rain CONSTANTLY in Cardiff if my mate in Swansea is correct. I would have a look at which ones have good reputations for your course, so going on what you've written I'd make York my first, but your insurance is tricky as all your choices are roughly the same grades. For whatever you choose, I wish you best of luck. Get involved with stuff, it's the best opportunity to do so - and there'll almost certainly be something you'll be interested in (I now do brewing, for example!)
BigPleb 01.08.15	Everyone's knows Liverpool is the way forward!
ChoccyPhilly 01.08.15	I'm not the biggest party goer but I still like them and I'd like the option of them. Student Societies are more important to me and they can obviously thrive more in a bigger, more vibrant city
ChoccyPhilly 01.28.15	The wait's so fucking frustrating
Archelirion 01.28.15	Tell me about it. I was lucky and got mine back super-quick, but even those 2 weeks were hell. Best of luck :)
CalculatingInfinity 01.28.15	In my eyes, don't even think about it. You'll worry yourself sick. I was too busy studying to care, so I suggest that mindset.
SomeSayShesNaive 01.28.15	Ah yes, English colleges. I studied at St Columb's in my youth, dear years.
PappyMason 01.28.15	My friends that went to Leeds and York all had a good time so you should be fine! Cardiff is pretty good too. I don't know too much about Aberdeen or Surrey. Most people want to move as far away from home as possible, but being relatively close has its positives.
menawati 01.28.15	whatever you do don't go to Cardiff, scum city that and the uni is where you go if you can't go anywhere else. York is your best bet (Leeds lol what a tip).
Friday13th 01.28.15	Move to Yankeeland of freedom ;) JK but really why don't they let you apply to more than 5 schools? Opportunity in education is one of the most important liberties here in America. I can't help much but hope this Rush song helps: I WILL CHOOSE A PATH THAT'S CLEEEEEEAR...
JJKeys 01.28.15	@mena - u w0t m8, u dissin Leeds bruv? I'll bash ur hed in
InfamousGrouse 01.28.15	Putting in my postgrad applications over the next few weeks, god rest my soul
ChoccyPhilly 02.18.15	well, believe it or not, I actually have offers for all five choices. Think i'm gonna go for York and I'm unsure about my insurance because Cardiff and Surrey were both amazing and shit in different ways. AAB it is, fuck me. I guess it's time to be hermit
CalculatingInfinity 02.18.15	Happy you got your choises, wish you all the best for exams :]
ChoccyPhilly 02.18.15	Thanks, same for you with your end of year exams!
CalculatingInfinity 02.18.15	Thanks bro, still waiting for my semester 1 results actually.
ChoccyPhilly 02.18.15	ahh, i see. What are the exams like?
CalculatingInfinity 02.18.15	Different to A Level exams. You have a section A and B, Section A you have to answer every question and are seen as standard calculations with knoweldge of the course and is worth 55%. It can be fine but can throw tricks in here. Section B you answer 3 out of 4/5 questions and if you answer more the highest marked attempts are counted. These are harder questions, truely testing your knoweldge of the course and worth 45%. Linear Algebera was really easy, Calculus I was pretty good but Number and Sets was shit. Probably the only topic this year I won't get a 1st in.
Hippo100 02.18.15	Hippo90 is going to the dump. Not Hippo 100 tho :] ~
ChoccyPhilly 02.18.15	Oh I see, that doesn't sound too daunting. Best of luck with the rest of your exams and your results in that case
Mad. 02.19.15	Got an AAB offer from York the other day too Gonna go see the place this Saturday, hopefully it'll be good
JohnnyoftheWell 02.19.15	York and Cardiff are both decent options; I know people at both who enjoy them. Surrey is a depressingly boring place and Aberdeen is pretty much renowned for being freezing and for sporty students who ruin themselves on drugs. Leeds is a decent backup if you're prepared to chance clearing.
JohnnyoftheWell 02.19.15	Mad, where else did you apply for?
ChoccyPhilly 02.19.15	@mad york is a lovely place. The accommodation is a little ehhh but the rest of it suits me perfectly. @johnny thing is, I loved the university of surrey itself. The staff were all so welcoming and it was somewhere I could see myself going. The problem is that i HATE guildford and the course is wrong. On the other hand, Cardiff's course is perfect but the applicant day left a stale taste in my mouth. The SU was amazing, and the city was much better but the uni itself didn't impress me that much and touring the bioscience building was as bleak experience
Snake. 02.19.15	i only applied for ED to one college and got accepted hollaaaaaaaaa
JohnnyoftheWell 02.19.15	"@johnny thing is, I loved the university of surrey itself. The staff were all so welcoming and it was somewhere I could see myself going.

There are plenty of forums that are worth a check :]
Mad. 02.19.15	@johnny I'm doing film production, applied to Met Film School, York, Falmouth, Westminster & Bournemouth Arts
StrangerofSorts 02.19.15	I am the voice of university objectivity. Hear me, and tremble. Fuck Aberdeen. Leeds scene is fan-fucking-tastic. (Also, if you're into your drugs you couldn't be happier. I have heard some ridiculous statistics about class A consumption at Leeds Met). Great band scene and great student paper - at least in terms of music, get involved! Fuck Surrey, although you're near some of the best music institutions in the country so the local band scene is a lot better than you would expect from, you know, Guildford. York's a great uni, but the place will probably bore you to tears. Cardiff is kinda eww. Uni=good. I wouldn't touch the nightlife with a stick. A lot of them take the train journey to Bristol to avoid the worst of it.
StrangerofSorts 02.19.15	Also, ignore what everyone says about 'needing' to be on a campus. These people are liars. There is never a sense of 'university spirit' that isn't strangely Orwellian. Most of my friends couldn't wait to get out...
ChoccyPhilly 02.19.15	@stranger I am trembling. Thing with York is that I can get to Leeds on the train, so I can still get involved with the music scene if I go to York. Other than that, thanks for your opinion. I get that a campus isn't EVERYTHING and I get what you mean but I just preferred the feel of the Surrey campus compared to Cardiff. And hey, at least Guildford or Aberdeen or York aren't as bland as Durham
beefshoes 02.19.15	Go to the Scottish one mate. England is overrated.
ChoccyPhilly 02.19.15	I would but I don't think Aberdeen has much to offer, it's far away and from what I've heard, the uni isn't that great either
StrangerofSorts 02.19.15	Although in Durham there's always the option to run away to the nearby cultural metropolis of Newcastle...
ChoccyPhilly 02.19.15	@stranger where do you go to?
JohnnyoftheWell 02.19.15	Although in Durham there's always the option to run away to the nearby cultural metropolis of Newcastle... [2]
StrangerofSorts 02.20.15	I'm at Bristol. I went to Bath for a year before, but I wouldn't recommend it. Bristol is much better.
JohnnyoftheWell 02.20.15	Bristol is such a cool place, what are you studying (and did you start from first year)?
MattTD 02.20.15	I'd go with Leeds. Nice uni, part of the Russell group and there's tons of gig venues. Got an unconditional offer from UEA so looks like I'll be heading down there.
StrangerofSorts 02.20.15	'Bristol is such a cool place, what are you studying (and did you start from first year)?' I switched from psychology to philosophy so I had to - a bit of an expensive decision but well worth it. Bristol's great as long as you stay away from most of the student stuff. The local music scene is amazing (though obviously not as good as the glory days) and I've done my best to get my fingers into as many musical pies as possible. The problem for a lot of people going to places like Bristol, Leeds and (esp.) London is that if you don't make the effort it kind of all passes you by.
anarchistfish 02.20.15	Bristol's sweet but I can't stand the students here anymore. UWE people are way more chilled out.
anarchistfish 02.20.15	"Also, ignore what everyone says about 'needing' to be on a campus. These people are liars. There is never a sense of 'university spirit' that isn't strangely Orwellian. Most of my friends couldn't wait to get out..." yeah true. I was kinda disappointed bristol didn't have a campus but you get used to it and if the city's cool it doesn't matter at all. having a good student union is probably more important
JohnnyoftheWell 02.20.15	"Bristol's sweet but I can't stand the students here anymore. UWE people are way more chilled out." True, the Bristol crowd is ridiculous, but Bristol vs UWE as universities isn't even a contest. Can't say I regret not taking my Bristol offer, but it still would have been kinda cool.
Feather 02.20.15	THE Ohio State University
ChoccyPhilly 02.20.15	@matt I live near norwich and regularly go there. The UEA is a fantastic uni and norwich is a great place too; always feels very safe and secure and the music scene is very healthy. I regret not applying there in all honesty. @fish oh yeah, I agree too. When I went to visit Cardiff, I was hugely impressed by the student union and how much was going on there. Even if the uni was a little bland, I could easily see myself hanging out in their huge SU building for hours at a time @stranger what made you change from Bath to Bristol? I thought Bath was great, other than the fact that it was an ugly concrete jungle and the town was rather uneventful. I would have definitely applied if they did my course
StrangerofSorts 02.20.15	Few reasons: 1. The place bored me to tears. 2. Terrible lecturers and course. They have high student satisfaction numbers for no reason other than bullying/bribing the students ("if you don't rate us highly, your degrees will be worthless"). Same as a lot of places, but particularly bad there. 3. No arts students. Not to bash you science guys, but overall you aren't half a boring bunch - having lots of art-y things going on around you makes time anywhere SO much more enjoyable. 4. It just felt like an extension of school. A lot of the people at Bristol are unbearable, but you get them (to some extent) everywhere.
MattTD 02.20.15	A lot of my friends want to go to Bath; personally the only positive I could find for going there is that it's a nice place to live. Bristol seems more down-to-earth, even if it is a bit too hilly for my Cambridge legs. I went to one of the UEA open days last year and it was just the perfect uni for me. They gave me the offer the day after my application arrived, so they clearly want me as well.
ChoccyPhilly 02.20.15	@stranger Define your kind of unbearable? yeah, I'm more than certain there'll be people like that everywhere but probably could be worse at the city universities. I've got a friend who has an offer for Bath and I looked at their societies and the lack of variety was rather upsetting. @matt unconditional too, huh? you must have gotten some killer AS grades. You'll love the music scene there. Almost all venues across norwich are owned by the UEA SU and they get discounts etc. and it's just run very well. What are you studying?
MattTD 02.20.15	Film and English, UEA have a really good English department/course so I gravitated towards that. Didn't actually get phenomenal grades at AS, I just worked my arse off in the first part of A2 to get good predictions.
apert 02.20.15	Should have applied to London then you could pay twice as much for accommodation and still live in worse houses than all your friends everywhere else
SPRFanOf5H 02.20.15	Okay I'm really stupid in terms of knowing what good universities are in terms of offering great journalism courses. Only one I know that has something like this is USC. Anyone know great schools that offer this in America?
ChoccyPhilly 02.20.15	@matt I had to essentially beg my Biology teacher to predict me a B after i got a C from AS. I know a lot of schools that hand out any grade as long as you ask for it. Frankly, I was lucky to get predicted AAB to begin with. @apert I used to live in London and I was tired of life there. I wanted to explore other places. @SPR you came to the wrong thread... This is predominantly about UK unis
MattTD 02.20.15	Literally the only reason I have an A prediction in Eng Lang is because the teacher really likes me. I thought about London but accommodation is ridiculously overpriced. The cheapest option is around £120 a week, which would get you ensuite in most campus unis. Not to mention that London is pretty rough and really polluted.
ChoccyPhilly 02.20.15	York accommodation is mad. 103 quid a week is the minimum and that's for an economy, shared and self catered room. To make it worse, it's only exclusive to one college and the vast majority of rooms are at 120.
HalfManHalfAmazing 02.21.15	i am from manchester
HalfManHalfAmazing 02.21.15	you should go to uni in the united states like i do
JohnnyoftheWell 02.21.15	York accommodation is mad. 103 quid a week is the minimum and that's for an economy, shared and self catered room. To make it worse, it's only exclusive to one college and the vast majority of rooms are at 120. That's amazing value compared to what I get tbh
StrangerofSorts 02.21.15	@choccy - arrogant and completely un-self-aware - blundering in to other cultures and ruining them with shallow, misguided imitation. Doing everything for image basically, mixed in with a fair bit of the pampered-class self absorption that makes it impossible for them to see that everyone else cares about more than the aesthetic and they're completely out of place. So yeah, rich girls... -.-
anarchistfish 02.22.15	some of those people are fun to hang around with, but I find the whole vibe here pretty closed off and pretentious
MattTD 02.22.15	Went to my mate's accommodation in London for his birthday; the toilet was absolutely tiny and there was no phone signal anywhere in the building.
ChoccyPhilly 04.17.15	If anyone cares... Firmed York and insured Cardiff. Despite not liking Cardiff university, i was very impressed by the student union and that's probably worth the crappy university
CalculatingInfinity 04.17.15	I care :3 Nice job man, I really wish you best in your upcoming exams. Always up for talking about the Maths/Futher Maths A Levels and stress if you want.
ChoccyPhilly 04.17.15	Cheers man,I'm doing alright. Better prepared than last year but the standard is so much higher I gave up by the way lol. We started fp2 and I was struggling on chapter 1 so I dropped further. M1, and the cores are all great but I'm doing s2 to get my further maths AS and I haven't even started that yet lol. And then there's decision... Which is like fake maths IMO -_-
JJKeys 04.17.15	York is a lovely city, a shame you didn't pick Leeds but at least you're in good ol' Yorksheeeer
ChoccyPhilly 04.17.15	Tough choice. The decision was between York and Leeds and I knew I couldn't have both. In the end, I just thought York was more me and I could still reap the benefits of Leeds too
zakalwe 04.17.15	What are you looking to do as a profession twirl pal?
CalculatingInfinity 04.17.15	I liked Decision because I'm a sad bastard :P Glad you're still doing Further AS though, even AS increases your Mathematical ability alot. Yes year 13 has a definate higher standard, treat the 1st year of Uni as a cooldown achedemically compared to it because that's what it is to me despite working hard.
ChoccyPhilly 04.17.15	Wouldn't you just love it if I said making chocolates? No idea but the degree is in biology. Maybe working for a pharmaceutical company or something
zakalwe 04.17.15	What are you studying Calc son? Punctuation, spelling and grammar?
CalculatingInfinity 04.17.15	Thankfully not Zak, I'm studying Mathematics.
Mort. 04.17.15	currently maybe getting into UEA
zakalwe 04.17.15	:D classic, chief taster at the cadburys factory. Pharmaceutical industry is as cut throat as they come mate. Ethics go out the window it's all about patents and ££££££££££££££££££££
ChoccyPhilly 04.17.15	@calc thanks for the advice. I really enjoyed further as, especially fp1 but I gotta say that I don't think I could take maths any further (I don't know how you manage!). I'm hoping just hoping that there's less exam stress at uni
ChoccyPhilly 04.17.15	@mort yeah, good luck with that man! Norwich is an incredible place and the music scene is something you'll love for sure. @zak I know, i can't see myself going into research but I'm not sure of an alternative. I'll cross that barrier in a couple years time
CalculatingInfinity 04.17.15	@Choccy When it comes to abstract algebra in Number and Codes I wonder too, I'm fine with anything else but that's a pain in the arse. FP2 is present in Calculus 2 I believe so you probably would have hated it. There's less stress at Uni because at Six Form you always have an atmosphere of pressure to add on to the fears in your mind. All of your classmates and the teachers are so stressed near the end and you have so many exams, Uni feels more managable since you have less exams (but equal amount of material) and you can get away from people very easily.
CalculatingInfinity 04.17.15	Also awesome job Mort :D
EddieMarais 04.17.15	bro why didn't you apply for Kent?
zakalwe 04.17.15	"Norwich is an incredible place and the music scene is something you'll love for sure." its up there with 70s New York or Berlin.
ChoccyPhilly 04.17.15	@calc too early to get me excited lol. I'm looking forward to the variety the most - all the sports and societies etc.
MattTD 04.17.15	@Mort ah no way man, I'm going to UEA as well. What are you studying? Anyway congrats Choccy, good luck with your exams!
Mort. 04.17.15	Philosophy. You?
MattTD 04.17.15	Film and English, weird that I might actually meet you
