• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    And the Bay has TORCHWOOD! Hope everything goes well for you, Jolty. Leeds is a fantastic city and univeristy - what's the other one you're applying to?

    Well done! What're you going to be studying at UWIC? And YES. You should take over Doctor Who when Moff's done screwing with our heads :p

    My advice would be to look up the universities and the surrounding areas and decide which area you'd rather live in. Or, if you have time, look up the courses and pick the module you most like the look of? Or check which uni has the best facilities/is most LGBT-friendly/has the highest student...

    Grabby's been literally sick with worry all evening ): She needs AAB to get into Leeds and I really, really want it to happen. Another friend has been talking about throwing herself under a bus and things if she doesn't get the three As she needs for Oxford, and another friend missed uni...

    I got a student loan to fund my undergrad degree, which covered all tuition and paid for living costs (up to a point), and I've finished with ~£10,000 debt that I don't have to pay back until I'm earning a whole bunch of money. In the UK, you have to fund anything past an undergraduate degree...

    I could be wrong, but I don't think UCAS even lets you put a lower-offer as your first choice and a higher-offer as your backup. Congrats on your offers! :)

    Aaah, don't worry about getting all your crap up there - once you're on a train, you're on a train and it doesn't really matter how far you go, you just have to have a book/DS/MP3 player to entertain yourself. And I can't imagine needing massively urgent help from anyone - I broke my leg at...

    Seconding this. If you miss your first choce, you might be crushed, but, from what I can tell, the university experience is pretty much the same all over, and you'll have a brilliant time and make loads of friends wherever you go. I missed my first choice (Durham), but I'm actually glad I ended...

    I didn't mean to put you off; just attempting fair warning ): I know that the London School of Economics does a spectacular Sociology course. I want to do a Master's there (but my first exam's tomorrow and I haven't studied nearly enough and aaaaaah); it's fifth for social sciences in the world...

    To be fair, if I had to work ten times harder to get into a uni where I wouldn't have to pay because a bunch of kids who have their own unis and have to pay anyway were applying, I'd be a bit miffed. Closest to Soctland I applied was Durham. Lovely town, but I'm kinda glad I didn't get in...

    Yeeeeeaaaaahhhh <3 Scottish unis are generally cheaper to live at than English/Welsh ones (as a general rule, the further north you go, the cheaper the cost of living is, with it peaking around London - which sucks massively for me in Kent), but a) Scottish unis are harder to get in to because...

    What the hell? You get money off going to uni for being gay? How do they even know? Is there a gayness test you have to take, or do you just say "yeah, I'm gay"? If so, I think the answer is pretty much anyone is eligible. It's a sweet gesture, but I really think the money could be better spent...

    No, it's really coming through that you live in Wales XD Hehe, it's literally thirty second's walk from my student house in Canterbury to one of three local pubs, plus another two reachable in two minutes. It's awesome in terms of being able to go out and not have to walk miles in the...

    Haha, one of the things that shcoked me most when I first came to Kent was how flat the landscape was. Which is an odd thing to think, given the uni campus is at the top of a great big hill, but it's only one hill, and, coming from Devon, that's like nothing. I had no idea Sheffield had so many...
