Well I didn't get in to my first choice University as I was 1 grade off, Which kind of sucks. But I did get in to London City University which is not a bad University, but it means the past few days I've been frantically trying to get accomodation, central London is expensive huh?
I currently renting a flat with 3 double bedrooms on an gated estate in liverpool city centre for £750PCM. It's not so bad, quite a sought after place actually and the distance is not so bad, however I did instantly notice when looking the prices curve off very fast within a mile or two distance from the city centre. So possibly the same might work in London although it is much bigger!
That's one thing I was glad about, not having to book accommodation last minute, we had months to prepare for it. Kind of raises the question why they take so long to mark all the tests. Sure there is A LOT of exams to evaluate but the faster they do them the better it is for every single student and university out there.
Anyway, remember it's not really the university its what you make of it.
Good Luck, and be thankful you got into a university!
