has anyone decided on their top 2offers to accept yet? ive got my1st choice but not sure about my 2nd yet!

what's your first choice Nat?

I'm going to hold Cambridge's offer, and not hold a second one because all my other offers are higher.

Bangor is my first,i really like it. im going to see about 3 uni's in the next few weeks and will decide on my 2nd then

My daughter's friend is in her first year at Bangor. Daughter went for a visit a few weeks ago and really enjoyed seeing round.

i havent heard back from my first choice yet, just my second and third. im waiting til i hear before i accept any offers

I still got a long way to U. GOod luck everyone and I hope you get your place of choice.

I did music at Durham Uni - loved it there. You live in a college too (mostly).

my first offer is oxford, jesus college, but i still have two uni interviews to go before i choose a second, as all my offers so far are AAB - ABB.

anyone else a bit tired of wating around for offers? seemed like i filled my ucas form online years ago.........

i agree totaly hornplayer, they take forever don't they? what makes it worse is that i "wasted" a year on AS levels before going to college...so i feel like i ought to already be stuck into my first year of uni already

hope everybody gets good offers to all their choices... whenever they let you know about it

I've only had an unofficial one from Hull! It's taking ages! I've heard from Huddersfield and have to audition. Hull's my first choice at the mo!

Have you BEEN to Hull? The music department's a little... iffy.

i considered sound design at lincoln, then decided against it because it was based in hull. i just don't like the entire town- but i'm biased for personal reasons.

apparently they have a decent aquarium though, *sings* i'm gunna eat you little fishy!

No, I haven't been to Hull. Hull's not actually my first choice, but as it's the only one I have an offer from, it has to be at the moment! I put Hull down more to cover my back, because the grades needed were lower than the others I applied to. Having said that, I have a friend from Hull and she liked living there and another friend went to an open day for music there and she liked the look of it, so I will reserve judgement til I see it!

i just want to ask...can i do music and history together in cambridge...some people say you can't really.....

Well, have you asked them? I don't see why not. Check their website about their joint honours program!

Wow, I would love to do Music and History at uni *starts investigating*

im sure David will have a comment!

*bounces up and down excitedly*

david will have a comment, and then nat will have one, and it will be almost like an argument but not really. And then when it's done there shall be mass hugging and general good will of mankind.

*sits cross-legged and waits patiently*

Bangor was great! The location is lovely (town next to the mountains and the sea), you can choose from loads of different modules to make up your course so if you don't like writing essays then you don't have to, if you don't like aural then don't do it, if you want to learn Italian then do that! The halls of residence are good if you get into the newer ones, (I think there is one old one left) - and all my friends from my course are now working as music teachers in various places. Oh, and I forgot, I managed to get through my degree without taking any exams (choose modules carefully!). My only mistake was doing a course in Schenkerian Analysis, anyone else done that? Its wierd.

Then we'll need Cheeble to break it up and be knighted again by Rhapsodin, and then there will be peace in tubbyland...at least for a while!

That isn't very nice when Sally prowls round the forums too!! If she read that she could give you a whole lesson of aural or scales next lesson. So be good
